Without printer's name, year, or place, but dated at the end, Mexico, Dec. 25, 1767; at which place, and at about that time, there can be no doubt of its having been printed. It is signed Joseph de Galvez, apparently a different person from the minister of the same name who was sent to Mexico a few years later, to settle a dispute between the Viceroy and the Audiencia. The expedition to which the present work relates was undertaken to take preparatory measures for expelling the Jesuits.
