Aclaracion al Arancel General de Aduanas Maritimas y Fronterizas
Mexico City: 1842. [3]pp., on a small bifolium. Minor wear and dust soiling at edges; light tanning. Very good. Item #3046
Scarce 1842 addendum to regulations concerning maritime customs and tariffs in Mexico. In the first of four articles contained here, Santa Anna declares that the ports of Galveston and Matagorda will be reopened to foreign trade when Texas returns to the federal union. The remaining articles clarify discrepancies between recent adjustments to tariff legislation and the original law passed in 1837. Another example of the wishful thinking regarding Texas that preoccupied Mexico until annexation by the United States and the Mexican-American War. OCLC locates only two copies, at Yale and the British Library.
