Transcriber's Note:
Inconsistent hyphenation and spelling in the original document have been preserved. Obvious typographical errors have been corrected.
In some cases, Bancroft uses both "u" and "v" to spell an author's name, e.g. Vetancurt and Vetancvrt.
Other archaic letter substitutions include "b" for "v" and "i" for "y" and vice versa. These have been left as printed.
Possible printer's errors include:
On page 5, córtes extraordinary should possibly be córtes extraordinarias.
On page 149, Patsun should possibly be Patzún.
On page 270, quarters should possibly be halves.
On page 387 repeated should possibly be repealed.
On page 652, 1855-5 appears to be an error.
