Note 555 — Chapter X · POLITICAL ACTIVITY.
Reading edition
Vida y Escritos del P. Juan de Mariana, pp. lxix-lxxviii (Historia de España, Valencia, 1783, T. I).—Alegambe, Scriptt. Soc. Jesu, p. 258.—De Backer, V, 518.
The “Tratado y Discurso sobre la Moneda de Vellon” of course was suppressed and became scarce. My copy is in MS., transcribed in 1799.
Mariana did not conceal from himself the danger to be incurred. In his address to the Reader he says—“Bien veo que algunos me tendrian por atrevido, otros por inconsiderado, pues no advierto el riesgo que corro.”
