Not illustrated. 1916 edition. Excerpt: ...to be whipped, thirteen to life imprisonment, and seventeen to be banished. As most of the disorders had attended the organization of militia, he sentenced the lower classes of the population to pay special levies for arms with which to equip the troops. The ayunta-micntos were assessed for funds for the uniforms. Leaving Valera to execute his sentences and a sargento mayor, Miguel Deza, to organize and equip the militia, the visitor set out for Mexico, where he arrived November 24, 1767. He had been away from the capital four and one-half months on this expedition, the arduous labors of which had left him not more than three hours' daily rest. If I have been able he wrote to Croix to work with any success, and... to take any measures which merit the approval of yourself and the satisfaction of his Majesty in the zeal and fidelity with which we strive to serve him, this is the only reward I seek as the final recompense for my wakefulness and fatigue, that I may carry to my grave the inner satisfaction and consolation that I have not been a servant entirely useless to my master and to my nation.24 7.

Book Description
Excerpt from Jose De Galvez, Visitor-General of New Spain (1765-1771) Inasmuch as the later efficiency of Galvez in his ministry was due to experience gained in actual field service in New Spain as visitor-general of the affairs of public finance (1765 and inasmuch as the policy he was later to pursue was formu lated and initiated during the years of his residence in America, it has seemed Wise to restrict the scope of the present study to the activities of those years. In so doing the aim has been to present the measures initiated by Galvez as visitor-general in their connection with the general colonial policy and its reform. To this end a study of the visitation, and of the department of public finance (real hacienda), constitute the body of the work.
