Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spanish Colonial Municipalities This article was originally printed in the California Law Review tor September, 1919, and translated into Spanish by Genaro Estrada and published as Municipali-dades coloniales espanolas, Mexico, 1921. It is republished by the Louisiana Historical Quarterly with the consent of Mr. Priestley and we are quite sure that Louisiana students of Spanish institutions In Louisiana will be quick to appreciate this very valuable contribution to a subject that up to this time has been very Inadequately treated here or elsewhere. With the light thrown on the subject by Mr. Priestley's essay, many of the misunderstood features of the Spanish Cabildo in Louisiana will be restored to their true position in our history. Henry P. Dart. Spanish Colonial Municipalities. The municipal organization of Castile, transferred to America soon after the advent of Columbus, began to function with no lack of vitality. The first conquerors brought to the New World a traditional love of liberty and a spirit of strong local autonomy which promised fair for development in the conquered and colonized territory. But during the sixteenth century the Spanish peninsular municipio was reduced from its earlier importance and power, being subjected to centralized control by officers of the crown. These were the gobernadores, corregidores, and alcaldes mayores, who went out to hold the local areas in the name of the national authority. These centrally appointed officers substituted for the direct democracy guaranteed by the municipal fueros, (charters), and for the system of local legislation arising from the petitions of the towns through their procuradores, a direct central legislation under royal cedulas, cartas, and instrucciones.

Download or read book The Colonial Spanish American City written by Jay Kinsbruner and published by . This book was released on 2005-05 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The colonial Spanish-American city, like its counterpart across the Atlantic, was an outgrowth of commercial enterprise. A center of entrepreneurial activity and wealth, it drew people seeking a better life, with more educational, occupational, commercial, bureaucratic, and marital possibilities than were available in the rural regions of the Spanish colonies. Indeed, the Spanish-American city represented hope and opportunity, although not for everyone. In this authoritative work, Jay Kinsbruner draws on many sources to offer the first history and interpretation in English of the colonial Spanish-American city. After an overview of pre-Columbian cities, he devotes chapters to many important aspects of the colonial city, including its governance and administrative structure, physical form, economy, and social and family life. Kinsbruner's overarching thesis is that the Spanish-American city evolved as a circumstance of trans-Atlantic capitalism. Underpinning this thesis is his view that there were no plebeians in the colonial city. He calls for a class interpretation, with an emphasis on the lower-middle class. His study also explores the active roles of women, many of them heads of households, in the colonial Spanish-American city.

This book was released on 2018-03-07 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Conquest of Peru The most brilliant passages in the history of Spanish adventure in the New World are undoubtedly afforded by the conquests of Mexico and Perm - the two states which combined with the largest extent of empire a refined social polity, and considerable progress in the arts of civilisation. Indeed, so prominently do they stand out on the great canvas of history, that the name of the one, notwithstanding the contrast they exhibit in their respective institutions, most naturally suggests that of the other; and, when I sent to Spain to collect materials for an account of the Conquest of Mexico, I included in my researches those relating to the Conquest of Peru. The larger part of the documents, in both cases, was obtained from the same great repository, - the archives of the Royal Academy of History at Madrid; 8 body specially entrusted with the preservation of whatever may serve to illustrate the Spanish colonial annals. The richest portion of its collection is probably that furnished by the papers of Munoz. This eminent scholar, the historiographer of the Indies, employed nearly fifty years of his life in amassing materials for a history of Spanish discovery and conquest in America. For this, as he acted under the authority of the government, every facility was afforded him; and public offices and private depositories, in all the principal cities of the empire, both at home and throughout the wide extent of its colonial possessions, were freely opened to his inspection. The result was a magnificent collection of manuscripts, many of which he patiently transcribed with his own hand. But he did not live to reap the fruits of his persevering industry. The First Volume, relative to the Voyages of Columbus, was scarcely finished when he died: and his manuscripts, at least that portion of them which have reference to Mexico and Peru, Were destined to serve the uses of another, an inhabitant of that New World to which they related.
