Book Reviews and Notices
and scholarly Secretary of State, this interesting and valuable
series has appeared regularly since that year and numbers now
twenty-two volumes of literary, scientific, and historical bibliog-
raphies. The edition of each volume has been restricted to one
thousand copies. These have been printed in uniform size, on a
good grade of paper, and with artistic illustrations and facsimile
reproductions, all being carefully edited. They are a credit to
Mexican printing.
Of particular interest to students of Texas history was the
detailed and comprehensive Bibliografia de Coahuila y Texas
published in 1927 by Sefior Vito Alessio Robles and reviewed in
the QUARTERLY shortly after. Of no less interest were the two
volumes, Bibliografia de la Reforma, la Intervencin y el Imperio
that appeared in 1930, prepared by Jesus y Raz Guzman. It gives a
very complete list of works in Spanish, English, French, and Ger-
man on all phases of the contest of liberalism that culminated in
foreign intervention, and should be of interest to American scholars
for the sources on the creditable part the United States played in
this international outrage. The Indice de D'ocumentos de Nueva
Espaia Existentes en el Archivo de Indias de Sevilla, prepared by
Senior Francisco del Paso y Troncoso and of which three volumes
have been published, constitutes an indispensable tool for the his-
torian of the Spanish Southwest, as over 50,000 documents relative
to New Spain and all its provinces and dependencies are listed.
The Bibliografia del Petroleo, published in 1927 by the Depart-
mento de Petroleo, is not only an excellent list of books, pamphlets,
and periodical articles on the various phases of the development
of the petroleum industry in Mexico, but an essential aid to the
historian who is interested in the international aspects of the vexing
problems to which it gave rise. It includes not only materials in
Spanish but all books and pamphlets in the various languages that
have been published since 1910.
The last two volumes to appear in this valuable series are
Bibliografia de la Revolucidn Mxicana, by Roberto Ramos of the
National Library, and Ex Libris y Bibliotecas de Mexico, by Sefior
Teixedor. In the bibliography of the Mexican Revolution the
author, who worked on this list for over five years, has gathered
one thousand seventy-six titles of books, pamphlets, manifestos,
broadsides, etc., in Spanish and other languages, dealing directly
or indirectly with every phase of the political, social, economic and253
