"The almost total lack of acceptable material on Philippine
history in English gives this undertaking an immediate
value."
--JAMES A. LE ROY in _American Historical Review_.
"With our freshened interest in the Far East, American
readers ought not to neglect the new possessions in that
region which now fly the Stars and Stripes."
--_Chicago Evening Post._
"Now at least there should be no difficulty for the American
student to gain a clear view of the difficulties which both
the Spaniards and their successors have had to contend with
in these islands, when they have this work before them, and
have not, as formerly, to obtain information from obscure
Spanish sources, in a language hitherto comparatively little
studied in the United States, ... welcome to all students of
the Far East."--_English Historical Review._

_An Elaborate Analytical Index to the Whole_
Almost all of the rare originals are without indexes. In the present
reprint series, this immense mass of historical data will be made
accessible through one exhaustive analytical index, to occupy the
concluding volume.
* * * * *
In many cases the records reproduced are so rare that this
collection will be practically the only resource of the
student of the original sources of our early history. The
printing and binding of the edition are handsome and at the
same time so substantial that the documents reproduced may
be said to have been rescued once for all time.--_Public
Opinion._
