wood-engraved tailpiece, the last page with an index; occasional spotting, lightly toned, first and last leaves with some foxing; contemporary ownership stamp of R. Garcia to title; pp. [4], 27, [1], 8vo; disbound. A very good copy. A rare translation into Spanish of the philosophical essays of Sir Francis Bacon, by the Mexican general, intellectual and statesman Jos� Mar�a Tornel (1795-1853). Beginning with 'On Truth' this translation presents the philosophical work of Francis Bacon at a time of great social change and intellectual upheaval in Mexico. Tornel was influenced by a wide range of European intellectuals and, as he says in his brief dedication to Jos� Mar�a Bocanegra (1787-1862) the lawyer and statesman who was briefly interim president of Mexico in 1829, Bacon is one of the significant geniuses England has produced. Tornel was a significant military figure, and a staunch federalist, who in 1830 became ambassador to the United Sates, where he was openly critical of Jackson's foreign policy. He helped orchestrate the Cuernavaca revolt in 1834, served as Minister of War, and helped plan the campaign that led to the Battle of the Alamo. Scarce. WorldCat records only four copies (National Libraries of Spain & Mexico, BL & Yale). See: Mar�a del Carmen V�zquez Mantec�n, 'La palabra del poder: La vida p�blica de Jos� Mar�a Tornel (1795-1853)', Serie Historia Moderna y Contempor�nea, 28, (M�xico, 2008).
