Folio, original vellum. Mexico, Don Felipe de Zuftiga y Ontiveros, 1792. £25 Wagner’s Spanish South-West, No. 174. From the protesta of the author and the space allotted to the life of Father Antonio Margil de Jesus it seems possible that the immediate cause of the publica- tion of this work was the active proceedings taken in that particular year, 1792, in his Causa of his beatification. The entire first book is devoted to the life of Father Antonio Margil de Jesus, while book II contains the lives of other illustrious members of the College, many of whom had been active in Texas. A long account is given of Fr. Francisco Hidalgo. Pages 321-386 contain an account of the missions of Texas down to the time of the visit of the Marques de Rubi, and pages 394-444 the history of the missions of Sonora beginning with the entry of the Franciscan Fathers into that province in 1768. é Book IV contains the account of Father Garcés, with his various journeys and final massacre on the River Colorado. For a long time this book was the principal, in fact only source for the history of the travels of Father Garcés and his two expeditions to California.
