[At this point (fol. 214 verso-264) is inserted the Memorial informatorio presented to the Council of the Indias in 1637 by Juan Grau y Monfalcón, procurator-general for the Philippine Islands at the court of Madrid; we have already published this document, in our VOL. XXVII, pp. 53-212. Abreu says that he places it here (as "an appendix to Period ii") simply because he did not find it until after the fortieth sheet of the Extracto had been printed; and he speaks of it as "treating of the subjects of that undiscovered memorial" of 136 numbers which was cited in "Period ii" of the Extracto (see our VOL. XXX, p. 25)--"plainly showing that whatever discussion of this matter has occurred in these late years, and what will be said in the future, in regard to the commerce of that region is new talk, but not talk of a new thing [es decir con novedad, pero no decir cosa nueva]." For "Periods i and ii" of the Extracto, which, with Monfalcón's memorial, should be read as a preliminary to the present summary of that work, see our VOL. XXX, pp. 23-109. Cf. the earlier memorial by Monfalcón (1635) in VOL. XXV, pp. 48-73.] PERIOD X Relation is made of what occurred in regard to this commerce from November in 1734 until the present month of May in 1736, with occasion of the petition made by the consulate and commerce of Andalucia, proposing to surrender to that of Manila the traffic and transportation of all the cinnamon, pepper, and cloves which the kingdom of Nueva España can consume; and that Manila may ship the chintzes (of fine, middling, and ordinary qualities), and the silk, raw and spun [beneficiada], if these are separated from the commerce in the silken fabrics and ribbons of China.
