Notes: 20 pamphlets describing celebrations in various Italian cities on the occasion of Pius IX's pardon of political prisoners and exiles on July 16, 1846. [1]-[16] and [20] are excerpts from the Giornale romano la Pallade (nos. 17-32 and 40-41, anno primo). Included are verses and public inscriptions written for the various celebrations. A number of the pamphlets are wholly or in part by Filippo Maria Gerardi, and others are by Giuseppe Checchetelli. [1] reproduces the text of Pius's proclamation. [5] includes canzoni by Caterina Franceschi Ferrucci. Tipped in before [7] is a folded etching depicting a jubilant crowd before a triumphal arch inscribed to Pius IX. [16] repeats Gerardi's account of the festivities in Rome already given with additional matter in [1]. [19] consists entirely of a Canto on the subject of the pardon.

The pamphlets all were published at Rome, [1]-[15] and [20] by Clemente Puccinelli, [16] by Benedetto Zampi, [17] by Tip. delle scienze, [18] by Tip. Menicanti. These all appeared in 1846, as apparently did [19], which has no imprint. [20] presumably appeared early in 1847, as it includes a sonnet composed on the evening of Dec. 31, 1846.

Binding: orange paper over pasteboard, half vellum. The spine is tooled in gold and has 2 brown leather labels with "Perdono   1846" and "F.M. Gerardi". Edges sprinkled in red and blue.

Pamphlets numbered 1-20 in pencil at upper right-hand corners of title pages.
