1878BOOKS006180xxiv392 pages with indexes. Quarto 11 1/4" x 8 1/4" bound in brown cloth with brown label in gilt lettering to spine. Edited by Justo Zaragoza. First edition.<br /><br />Juan Súarez de Peralta was in an advantageous position to assemble information regarding the first contact between Indians and Spaniards in Mexico. Born in Mexico in 1537 he was the son of Juan Suarez whose sister Catalina had been the first wife of Hernando Cortes. His education hardly went beyond the basics of grammar but he developed his knowledge by reading and by personal contact with those who had participated in the Conquest. He lived in Mexico until 1579 when he traveled to Spain. He remained there at least until 1589 the year in which he completed the <i>Tratado del descubrimiento de las Indias</i>. He later returned to Mexico. The date and place of his death are unknown. The complete title of Suarez de Peralta's work give an adequate description of its contents: Tratado del descubrimiento de las Indias y su conquista y los ritos y sacrificios y costumbres de los Indios; y de los virreyes y gobernadores que las han gobernado especialmente en la Nueva Espana y del suceso del Marques del Valle Segundo Don Martin Cortes: del rebellion que se le impute y de las justicias y muertes que hizieron en Mexico los jueces comisarios que para ello fueron por su Majestad y del rompimiento de los ingleses y del principio que tuvo Francisco Kraque para ser declarado enemigo. It contains information on the history religion and customs of the Indians of central Mexico derived largely from Oviedo Motolina Sahagun and Las Casas. When Justo Zargoza 1833-1896 published the work for the first time 1878 he shortened the title to <i>Noticias Históricas de la Nueva España</i>. It was republished in Mexico in 1949 with an introduction by Federico Gomez de Orozco.

Sabin 72202 First edition.<br /><br />Francisco Xavier Mina Spanish revolutionist and filibuster was born at Idocín Navarre in northern Spain on December 3 1789. As a student at the University of Zaragoza in 1808 when his countrymen rebelled against French control he joined the Spanish liberals and quickly became a leading guerrilla. When Ferdinand VII returned to the Spanish throne and renounced the liberal constitution of 1812 Mina opposed him and was eventually forced to flee. In October 1814 he arrived in England where he became acquainted with General Winfield Scott of the United States and Father José Servando Teresa de Mier Noriega y Guerra an ardent Mexican liberal who encouraged Mina to strike at Ferdinand VII through an invasion of Mexico. Scott also is thought to have encouraged Mina and to have assured him of the support of the United States for an expedition to free Mexico from Spain. As a result of this encouragement Mina made preparations to form an expedition. On May 15 1816 he left Liverpool in the ship Caledonia expecting to attack Mexico. On June 20 1816 the Caledonia reached Norfolk Virginia. Mina left it there to proceed to Washington while the ship moved on to Baltimore. At Washington he presumably conferred with high officials but this is not certain. He proceeded then to Baltimore where merchants of that city were willing to gamble on the expedition by furnishing the ship Calypso and arms and munitions for the enterprise. In July Mina visited Philadelphia and in August he went to New York always enlisting aid for his cause. New York merchants gave him two vessels and supplies. By the end of August 1816 he was ready to sail but complications arose with the Spanish minister in Washington who was bringing pressure to bear on the United States to prevent the expedition. Two vessels the Caledonia and the Dolphin however were dispatched to Port-au-Prince on September 1 1816. Father Mier who was with Mina on the expedition was sent ahead on September 19 1816 to contact revolutionary forces in Mexico. Mina in the Calypso left Baltimore on September 26 bound for Port-au-Prince where he arrived on October 13 1816. After difficulties and delays including disease and desertion he was able to set sail from Port-au-Prince on October 27 with four vessels headed for Galveston to join Louis Michel Aury who was also planning an invasion of Mexico. Mina reached Galveston on November 22 with about 140 officers and men. After some bickering with Aury Mina was permitted to land and began to organize his forces. Mier meanwhile had been forced by bad weather to land in New Orleans and in early December left for Galveston with the information that aid and assistance could be raised in New Orleans probably with the proviso that Mina proceed to Pensacola rather than Mexico. Mina proceeded to New Orleans in February 1817 and conferred with his New Orleans associates but decided against an attack on Pensacola deploring the commercial character of such an expedition. He bought two ships the Cleopatra and the Neptune at New Orleans. On March 16 he was again at Galveston where he received the force of Colonel Henry Perry 100 men. An arrangement was made whereby Aury was to be naval commander of the expedition while Mina was to have command of the military. The invasion point of Mexico was to be Soto la Marina Tamaulipas. The expedition left Galveston Island on April 7 with a force of eight ships and 235 men. After stopping at the mouth of the Rio Grande for water the force reached the mouth of the Santander River on April 11. The troops were disembarked on April 15. Mina captured Soto la Marina without difficulty and proceeded inland. After many small victories over the Spanish all the while trying to restore unity among insurgent leaders he was defeated and captured at Venadito on October 27. He was taken to Mexico City tried and executed at Fort San Gregorio with twenty-five companions on November 11 1817 at the age of twenty-eight years.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />New cloth over boards with original label attached to spine spine reinforced with later fabric back-strip some toning to the pages throughout hinges tender else a good copy.

1882CA0128xv488 pages with appendices. Octavo 8 1/2" x 5" bound in quarter leather with gilt lettering to spine in stiff boards. From the library of Professor George M Foster. Second edition.<br /><br />Alonso de la Rea was born in Queretaro in 1610. He wrote his Cronica in 1637-1639 providing data on Michoacán and Jalisco. For many matters he leaned heavily on Torquemada who in turn had copied them from Mendieta. Ricard quoting an 18th century opinion mentions that Rea lacked interest in chronology to an excessive degree. His work was however an official and methodical chronicle of the province preserving considerable detail about it. Rea's Cronica . 1639 was first published in 1643 and is now a bibliographical rarity. The volume is divided into three books totaling 92 chapter. Book 1 describes the region products people their dealings with Aztecs their general traits religious rites the last native emperors and coming of the Spaniards. This is followed by arrival of the Franciscan missionaries with biographies of some of these pioneer friars. Book 2 begins with the division of the province between Michoacán and Jalisco 1606 and contains numerous biographies of the members of that order. Book 3 is also a series of lives and an account of the Custodio del Rio Verde. The second edition was published in Mexico 1882. It includes additional relevant documents in three appendices. At the end of the text there is a table of contents but no index.<br /><br />George McClelland Foster Jr born in Sioux Falls South Dakota on October 9 1913 died on May 18 2006 at his home in the hills above the campus of the University of California Berkeley where he served as a professor from 1953 to his retirement in 1979 when he became professor emeritus. His contributions to anthropological theory and practice still challenge us; in more than 300 publications his writings encompass a wide diversity of topics including acculturation long-term fieldwork peasant economies pottery making public health social structure symbolic systems technological change theories of illness and wellness humoral medicine in Latin America and worldview. The quantity quality and long-term value of his scholarly work led to his election to the National Academy of Sciences in 1976.

Warren Heckrotte describes the atlas and the enterprise that produced it: "The Comision Geografica-Explordora was established by a decree of December 13 1877. It was directed to prepare a map of the Republic with all the scientific accuracy desirable. The region around the town of Puebla southwest of Mexico City was the first effort of the Commission. The surveying was done by astronomical determinations and triangulation. Between 1879 and 1882 the planned nine sheets lithographed in Mexico City were issued at a scale of 1:20000. Elevations are shown by contour lines. For this atlas the sheets were issued as photographs the maps reduced in scale to 1:50000. A photographic edition at the scale of 1:100000 was also issued. Other areas of the country were mapped. The ultimate goal was to produce a map of the country at a scale of 1:100000 in 1100 sheets. At the time the Commission closed shop in 1914 a little over 200 sheets had been completed. This mode of production suggests that a small number of these atlases were produced."
