Horatio Nelson: “Entrada Publica del Almirande Nelson en la Corte de Pluton el dia 23 de Octubre de este anno “.Madrid 1805

First and only edition. In 12o 15x10cm,original paper covers very slighted spotted, complete 29p.,text clean and bright, overall very good condition.

An Admiral Nelson s Spanish eulogy published in Madrid in 1805 (!!!) ,few weeks after his heroic death, early October same year,  in Trafalgar where he crashed the combine Spanish-French fleet. This is an almost unbelievable and very generous act of recognition of the famous personality and capabilities of Nelson ,the famous enemy (as Nelson and England was number one enemy of Spain that time) .First part is an eulogy prepared by Cabalero Caron, governador del Puerto and General Commander of the Spanish fleet, and by General Cancerbero, Commendante general de Spanish Cabaleria. Second part is a speech in Spanish ,must be a translation, verbatim, in Spanish of the eulogy of Nelson during his funeral in London late October 1805 .Nelson is described as entering in triumph after his great victory in the famous world of Pluto ,the space of the immortals  .Quite curiously during this eulogy there is a point (not censored..) that Spain has lost its mind (probably with entering in alliance with France).The publication is of the outmost importance ,as being an act of recognition of Nelson s qualities and personality by his contemporary own enemy .These light pamphlets have been mostly completely lost .Only three copies survived in all libraries worldwide, all in Spain .Extremely Rare
