Cuadro Historico de la Revolucion de la America Mexicana, por Su Causa de Su Independencia... Carta Segunda
Mexico City: 1821. 12pp. Small quarto. Very good. Item #2752
Second part of the first edition of this important and contemporaneous account of the Mexican Revolution by one of its key participants. Carlos Maria de Bustamante, writer, publisher, and sometimes political was one of the earliest proponents of independence, and this present work as a whole is dedicated to one of closest allies in Oaxaca, his birthplace, José Maria Morelos. This second part (of six, each published separately from 1821 to 1823) discusses the origins of Don Miguel Hidalgo y Costillo, the leader of the first independence movement, and some of the events of early 1810. Individual parts, let alone complete sets, of the first edition are quite scarce on the market.
