Additional Details

"An extraordinary volume of considerable historical interest. According to this pious author, Our Lady of Mexico, between 1808 and 1812 . . . seems to have done her best to thwart the schemes of the rebels and republicans in the various provinces of Mexico. She set her face firmly against the spirit of Mexican independency, and became quite a politician, but always attached to the royal party. The pious political frauds contained in this volume must ever give it a prominent place among the books relating to the history of the Mexican Revolution"--Stevens, Bibliotheca Historica 2451.
