Vol. II. has, in addition to the above title, "Y la publica Don José Rafael Enriquez Trespalacios Beristain, Sobrino del Autor. _Officina de D. Alexandra Valdéz._ 1819." "De Souza is by far the most important work for the literature of New Spain that has ever been composed. It comprises 3,687 biographies, and although like most Spanish works of the kind, singularly uncritical, yet it is a perfect treasure as regards the cultivation of science and literature in Mexico and the adjacent countries. The work is extremely scarce, and appears to be altogether unknown in Europe."--LUDEWIG. See also [Harrisse] _Bib. Am. Vet._, pp. xx, xxi.
