1872ref. 12672San Luis Potosi Mx 1872. 22pp. on a folded folio sheet. An intriguing issue of the San Luis Potosi state newspaper La Sombra de Zaragoza produced in the late-Spring of 1872. The paper was issued at irregular intervals at the time but was most frequently issued as a four-page paper printed on a single large folio sheet. Such is not the case in the present issue. Most of the first two pages of the paper print regulations for brokers working in the plaza of San Luis Potosi including new prohibitions and tariffs. The last part of the last column prints a public notice of an estate auction and an advertisement for the sale of the Velez Printing House. Page two ends with "Imp. del Gobierno." The second leaf is entirely comprised of eight forms of type imposed in quarto format indicating pages 129-136 of some larger work. Further research reveals that this second leaf prints one gathering of a larger pamphlet which appears on the second leaf of several issues in the full run of La Sombra de Zaragoza consulted at the Beinecke Library. The pamphlet is entitled Arancel de Aduanas Maritimas y Fronterizas de los Estados-Unidos Mexicanos published by the authorities of the state of San Luis Potosi. In an instance of historical echo in present times the pamphlet pertains to maritime and border customs tariffs imposed by the Mexican government. The presence of one quarto sheet of a larger pamphlet tacked onto the second leaf of the state newspaper seems to indicate that the Mexican government in San Luis Potosi in the mid-19th century sometimes pre-empted the work of the printers at La Sombra de Zaragoza to produce larger government publications. As such the present issue is at one and the same time an original periodical produced by the press in San Luis Potosi and a handsome example of mid-19th-century Mexican job printing. unknown books

Written when he was sixty-six years old, this is probably the last book which Markham wrote, and is one of his scarcest. "The practical instruction which he proceeds to give to the would-be-archer, of the bow and its use, the shooting-glove, the string, the shaft, the steel of the arrow, the feather, and the arrow-head, is reminiscent of Asham and may indeed be derived from his Toxophilus."?Poynter.
