An offprint from the Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America, Volume Forty-six, Second and Third Quarters, 1952.
In his introductory essay, the author writes: "Before a definitive history of Mexican printing is written, there will have to be a number of studies which dig rather deeply within narrow limits. The present paper is offered as an attempt at such a study, being a checklist of the official imprints of the rule of one viceroy, with some remarks on government publishing in Mexico in the late eighteenth century. This list is, to the writer's knowledge, the first attempt at an inclusive listing of government documents of any segment of the colonial period in Mexico." . Fine .
