1812réf. 7499Mexico 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.

Printed indenture executed in ink and signed in full by John O. Meusebach as Trustee of the German Emigration and Rail-Road Company drawing on the banking firm of H. Flersheim in Frankfurt for the sum of $3000 to be deposited to the account of the Company dated December 12. Meusebach a highly educated and civilized man came to Texas from Germany in 1845 to succeed Prince Carl of Solms-Braunfels as commissioner-general of the Verein zum Shutze Deutscher Einwanderer in Texas in the course of which he assumed Texas citizenship oversaw the affairs of the colonists and accomplished the 1847 treaty with the Comanche chiefs which made colonization possible. This document coming from the period of his service to the Verein no doubt represents a draft for funds to further the establishment of the colony the cities of New Braunfels and Fredericksburg and the attempted settlement of the financial horror show which Prince Carl left behind. A superb piece signed by one of the major figures of early Texas colonization. unknown books

Variant issue without priority also printed in New Orleans in the same year. The text of a letter sent to Mexican president Anastasio Bustamente calling for a convention to address various ills affecting the newly independent state of Mexico. Estrada is heavy on political theory and with good reason. At the time of publication Mexican democracy was in a crisis. In July Gen. Urrea acting on behalf of Valentine Farias actually stormed the National Palace and took Bustamente prisoner. Bustamente soon escaped but the ensuing conflict between Farias and Bustamente for legitimacy had a devastating effect on hopes for a true democracy of the kind Estrada extols here. An excellent sample of Mexican political history and thought. SUTRO COLLECTION p.739 OCLC 7320339. Impresso Por Igancio Cumplido unknown books
