Badajoz, Imprenta de la Hacienda Nacional, 1814.. FIRST EDITION. 4°, contemporary marbled wrappers (lightly soiled). In fine condition. A few early ink manuscript notes in lower margins. "Nacional" in imprint scored in contemporary ink. 16 pp. *** FIRST EDITION. The author, who served as chaplain at an army hospital, inveighs bitterly against the behavior of Manuel Godoy (sometimes known as the Prince of Peace, Príncipe de la Paz), who served as prime minister of Spain from 1792 to 1797 and again from 1801 to 1808. Bravo, a long-time resident of Madrid, describes his suffering during the events of Dos de Mayo and the days following, and his persecution when he attempted to take up his post as army chaplain. This pamphlet, published in 1814, was perhaps inspired by D. Fernando's return to the throne in April of that year. It mentions many overzealous subordinates of D. Fernando, presumably including Godoy, whose proper name does not appear in the main text, but is at the beginning of p. 3.Judging from its title, La inocencia atropellada por quien debió sostenerla y La misma vindicada por la Justicia en su trono, Madrid, 1816, includes the outcome of Bravo's petition.*** Not in Palau.
