44 pages. Octavo (8" x 6") issued in wrappers. Edited by Jose Fernando Ramirez. From the library of professor George M Foster. Biblioteca Aportacion Historica, second series. First edition limited to 100 copies of which this is number 57.With the fourth supply caravan, which left Mexico City in 1620 and arrived in New Mexico early in 1621, came fray Gerónimo Zárate Salmerón. Like all of the 250 or so Franciscans sent to New Mexico during the seventeenth century, Zárate Salmerón was not born in the province, although he was a native of the New World. His birthplace was Río Alvarado, south of Veracruz on the Gulf of Mexico coast, where he was born probably in the middle 1550s. The decade of his birth is inferred from the year of his profession as a priest at the Franciscan Convento Grande in Mexico City, 1579, and the usual minimum age of a new priest of 25. Fray Gerónimo was assigned as priest to the people of Jemez. He got to work almost immediately, founding the mission San José de… Read More

How many volumes of manuscripts his library contained cannot be said with any degree of certainty. All we know is that at the end of his life his library was one of the finest and richest of private collection in Mexico. A typewritten list prepared in 1937 by his grandson, Juoaquin, shows that the collection contained at least eighty-seven volumes of manuscripts, only sixty-nine of which were listed by Federico Gomez de Orozco in his catalog in 1927.

The latter group was subject to an ordinance issued by the Cabildo of Mexico City and confirmed by the Viceroy. One judge was in charge of monitoring compliance with the provisions of the Ordinances. Within the profession there was a strict distinction between the categories of officers, trainees and teachers. The control that the ordinances imposed on the guilds caused a stagnation in production and that prevented any craftsman doing his trade, outside the guild.

Men Against the Sea by Charles Nordhoff & James Norman Hall
#C-458 Cardinal Edition published by Pocket Books Inc.
Paperback
4.15 x 6,35 inches, 158 pages

Men Against the Sea is the second novel in the trilogy by Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall about the mutiny aboard HMS Bounty. It is preceded by Mutiny on the "Bounty" and followed by Pitcairn's Island. The novel first appeared in serial form in The Saturday Evening Post from November 18, 1933 through December 9, 1933, hence the copyright date of 1933. It was first printed in hardcover in January 1934 by Little, Brown and Company.

Men Against the Sea follows the journey of Lieutenant William Bligh and the eighteen men set adrift in an open boat by the mutineers of the Bounty. The story is told from the perspective of Thomas Ledward, the Bounty's acting surgeon, who went into the ship's launch with Bligh. It begins after the main events described in the novel and then moves into a flashback, finishing at the starting point.

xvi+469 pages with appendix and bibliography. Royal octavo (9" x 6") bound in original publisher's brown cloth with gilt lettering to spine in original pictorial jacket. First editionFocusing on the fate of the natives under Spanish rule, the author traces in graphic detail the rupturing of Indian traditions and the fate that befell the Indian people. While demonstrating the excesses of the conquistadors and unscrupulous crown officials, he also emphasizes that Central America was the scene of the first attempt to apply the famous New Laws. Although that legislation was not fully implemented, the reformist judge Alonso Lopez de Cerrato made significant improvements in labor conditions, in the face of furious opposition from the Spanish settlers. Aside from it discussion of labor practices, this account deals with population figures and the extent of the slave trade, and corrects a number of errors in traditional sources.
