One of the very few female American journalists’ accounts of the Philippines under Spanish rule. This volume is based upon notes made by the author while a resident and traveler in the Far East. Says she: “The difficulties have been numerous on account of the official Spanish policy of which the chief object apparently is the suppression of all information concerning their colonial possessions.”

One of the few American books written in 1898 before the Treaty of Paris. She advocates an American Protectorate with Philippine Government and dedicates her book to Rizal and Aguinaldo.

Title : LA GUERRA DE FILIFINAS 1886 - 1898. {SOLD}

This is an issue of Desperta Ferro, a prestigious journal of military history, dealing with the beginning and end of the Philippine War from 1886 to 1898. It includes maps, photographs, and illustrations. Pages that are glossy. In full color.
With eight articles written by Historians.

FROM THE SPANISH TRANSLATION :

On July 23, 1896, Andrés Bonifacio proclaimed, in what became known as the Balintawak cry, the beginning of the Philippine insurrection against the Spanish colonial power. The rebellion did not arise from remote places, but from Manila and its surrounding territories, at the hands of enlightened men, such as José Rizal, and petty officials, such as Andrés Bonifacio and Emilio Aguinaldo. Throughout these pages we will explain how it spread to put Governor Blanco in check, what the Katipunan was and who formed it, how Governor Polavieja took the offensive to defeat an enemy that was determined, capable of building immense field fortifications that often had to be taken by means of the cold steel of bayonets, and how Governor Primo de Rivera, the third in twelve months, would put an end to this first phase of the Philippine War. A deceitful end and a peace agreement that would soon be frustrated and that would engender an even worse war that would end up alienating the archipelago from the hands of both contenders, Spanish and Filipinos, in the heat of the recent US imperial ambition unleashed with the War of Cuba. ."

Brown Heritage: Essays On Philippine Cultural Tradition And Tradition

"Brown Heritage was envisioned to fill the need to place Philippine literature within the context of a tradition born of the unique Philippine experience; an effort to examine and evaluate the cultural antecedents which conditioned literary form in the Philippines, thereby hopefully alleviating the Filipino's helpless loneliness and]\rage of the man without a past." - Editor

" The book was the first scholarly attempt to lay out the guidelines for the study of Philippine Literature and establish the critical norm by which it is judged. (Brown Heritage covered the Philippine writing in both the vernacular and in English, but its treatment of vernacular writing, although the first of its kind, was schematic rather than profound, and its chief contribution was in the field of Philippine writing in English...This book is one of the landmark of research into Philippine writing in English." - Philippine Studies No. 32 : The early tradition : Philippine writing in English 1910-1940.

Rare book about the Philippines by Dean C. Worcester, once referred to as the “P.T. Barnum of the ‘non-Christian tribe’ industry.

FIESTAS EN MANILA ANO 1825

Ferdinand VII, in order to reward the Philippine Islands for the constant loyalty they had always shown him [...] sent a portrait, specially painted by his first chamber painter Vicente Lopez, as a gift to the city of Manila and asked for the portrait to be treated as if it were His Majesty.

In accordance with the king's wish, the portrait was received in public in Manila and only entered with all honors as if it were the monarch himself. Of this solemn and triumphal entrance of the portrait of Fernando VII, and of the festivities that were organized with such a lavish motive, a series of watercolor plates and a brochure are kept in the palace library that narrates this curious event. These plates show fascinating documentation of civic and residential buildings before it was destroyed by earthquake and wars.
