18127499Mexico City: Juan Bautista de Arizpe 1812. First edition. Small quarto 19.5 x 14cm pp 12. El pregunton the inquirer presents 11 questions or rather criticisms disguised as questions to those desiring independence from Spain. From the date of publication one notes that the war of independence has gone on for a little over a year and Hidalgo has been captured and executed. The pregunton is clearly in opposition to the forces for independence in Mexico. Nevertheless his questions walk a fine line between praising Spain and also criticizing it particularly the last viceroy Iturigurray. The author is identified by Beristain Bibliteca Hispano-americano as Francisco Estrada a native of Durango and prominent member of the clergy in Mexico city Tepotzotlan and Atotonilco. All of his writings are in the nature of pamphlets and have an anti-independence theme.Medina 10722 Rather rare OCLC listing only 5 copies one copy at auction.
