About This Item
Mexico City: F. Neve, 1868. Good plus.. 394,[2]pp. Contemporary quarter sheep and pebbled cloth, spine gilt. Light wear to corners and spine; boards lightly soiled. Front and rear free endpapers town away. Even toning, an occasional fox mark. Scarce Mexican edition of these collected philosophical and political essays and journalism by Spanish author José Selgas y Carrasco. Selgas was principally known for his lyric poetry and short stories, and also authored several full-length novels. He was known as staunch supporter of the Conservative political faction in Spain during the mid-19th century, and served in at least one legislative administration. An interesting appearance of this conservative voice in Mexican print, as the republic under the supposedly liberal Juarez was being restored following the brief reign of Maximilian I. OCLC locates only two copies, at Kansas and UNC.
