FIRST EDITIONS. The Exposicion Sucinta is "the chief source on New Mexico's last years as a Spanish province, and of her beginnings as a Mexican state" (Howes). It contains a thorough review of the trade, commerce, geography, government and population of New Mexico. López Cancelada used a pseudonym for this work after he had been banished for his role in publishing works critical of the government.
Juan López Cancelada was the editor of the Gazeta de Mexico, the official organ of the government of Mexico, and the Telegrafo Americano, a paper published in Spain hostile to the revolution and the viceroy Iturrigaray. "The deposal of Iturrigaray was the subject of various works and the theme of innumerable diatribes which rancorously discussed the cause of his fall, and its bearing on the future of Mexico... By far the most important of these productions are those published by Cancelada, Lizarza, Mier y Guerra, and Martinene" (Bancroft, History of Mexico, vol. IV, p.64). In Ruina de Nueva España, Lopez Cancelada comments on the conditions in Mexico, and the state of commerce and trade with South America, and with the Phillipines across the Pacific. Tables give the volume of trade in various products and sections describe prospects for each of the states. The final work in the volume is a bibliography of López Cancelada's writings (not in Sabin). RARE: according to American Book Prices Current, no copies of any of these works has appeared on the market in at least 30 years. A FINE COPY IN A CONTEMPORARY MEXICAN BINDING.
