An attractive copy. $250. First edition. This book reproduces the text of a speech given by military leader Don Rafael Vasco del Campo shortly upon his elevation by the King of Spain to the Presidency of Granada's Supreme Court of Justice. Don Vasco who distinguished himself in the service of the Spanish Crown in Mexico proclaims his humility before the office of his charge never before entrusted to a military man and invokes education as an antidote to envy hate revenge and thoughts of theft lies and deception. He also challenges the need for capital punishment and other legal injustices. During his short-lived presidency over Granada's highest court the region enjoyed peace and a flowering of the arts which ended with Napoleon's invasion of Spain and the subsequent popular uprisings against the Spanish Crown.

Contemporary bookplate on front pastedown. Light toning and minor foxing. Very good. An extremely valuable compilation which gives detailed data including route scenery and other key information about many various parts of Mexico. By piecing together the different itineraries it offers a traveler could basically go anywhere in Mexico and into the U.S. already provided with extremely detailed instructions about the best route and what facilities - such as water grass and shelter - were available every step of the way. A detailed name index listing routes and where they are to be found in the book further enhances the volume's usefulness for travelers be they headed to destinations great or small. Many of the routes described begin in Mexico City; some routes extend into Texas and New Mexico. Among the most interesting are two itineraries concerning California. One describes a journey from La Paz at the far southern end of Baja California to the U.S. border. This is one of the most detailed and expansively described routes in the entire book preserving a wealth of geographic and natural details. Many of the places detailed in this section have either disappeared or been extensively altered. The other journey is along the Sonora Route from Ures to Sonora to the California gold fields. This trip passes through Los Angeles and includes some commentary on the missions in the area.

18566878Mexico City: Jose A. Godoy 1856. First edition. Quarto pp 480 3 errata. A state-by-state guide book for travel throughout Mexico with routes and distances between each city town village ranch etc. The routes described extend into Texas San Antonio and El Paso and New Mexico Albuquerque Bernalillo Santa Fe. Also of note are the routes going from Sonora "al Placer de Oro de la Alta California" i.e. the gold mines of Upper California. This was known as the "Sonora Route" and was traversed by many Mexicans who were among the first to reach the gold fields in 1849 and the early 1850s. It enters the U.S. at the Colorado River and goes through Temecula La Joya then "La Mision vieja se pasa el rio de los Nietos y a la derecha del camino a una legua de distancia esta la mision de San Gabriel opulenta ante su destruccion. Los Angeles: poblacion hoy de los Estados Unidos del Norte." The route then goes through various ranches and follows the "Mission Trail" northward: "La Mision de S. Buenaventura. El rancho de Carpinteria. Sta Barbara presidio: a una milla de distancia esta la mision con una hermosa parroquia y es el obispado. La Mision de Santa Ines. S. Luis Obispo: pasa este camino por un frondoso rio que llaman Arroyo Seco. La Joya: rancho despoblado a la orilla de un rio cubierto de grandes alamedas. La Mision de San Miguel: para llegar a esta se pasa por el rancho que nombran Paso de Robles. La Mision de Soledad. Mision de San Juan. Pueblo de San Jose: pasando por el Ojo del rancho de Cochi. la Laguna y otros mas. Mision de San Jose. Stokton poblacion que esta formando sobre un estero de rio de San Joaquin el cual tiene mucho comercio por los buques procedentes de San Francisco del Alta California. El Rio Estanislao. Un aguage que proporciona pastos que escasean mucho adelante. El Placer de Estanislao Stanislaus." The notes concerning each place are valuable and in some cases very detailed for instance for Baja Caliornia and Tamaulipas with detailed description of the border town of Matamoros on the "Rio Bravo".
