Note 4 — APPENDIX: AGRICULTURE IN FILIPINAS
Reading edition
At the foot of the last printed page is a note, evidently written by some person in the secretary’s office of the Council of Indias (to which body this copy of the decree appears to have been sent), which reads in translation: “It came with a letter from the governor of Philipinas, Don Joseph de Basco y Vargas, dated June 16, 1784, and received at the secretary’s office on March 19, 1785.” A penciled memorandum on the fly-leaf indicates that it was published at Sampaloc, 1784. ↑
