Memoria presentada a las dos Camaras del Congreso General de la Federacion, por el Secretario de Estado y del despacho de relaciones esteriores interiores al abrirse las sesiones del ao de 1825. Sobre el estado de los negocios de su ramo . [Mexico City]: Imprenta del Supremo Gobierno de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos en Palacio, 1825. 8 o (194 x 130 mm). 51 pages. Contemporary tree calf gilt, gilt-lettered on spine. Provenance : contemporary ink inscription "departe del autor" on verso of title; Carlos R. Linga, bibliographer (book label). FIRST EDITION, PRESENTATION COPY, inscribed on verso of title in an unknown hand: "departe del autor." Written by the Mexican Secretary of State and Commerce, this is the official report of the state of Mexico, then in disarray after the War of Independence and wreck of the Iturbide regime. Alamán analyzes the economy of Mexico in the first years of independence from Spain. Early mention is made of Austin's 300 family settlement in Texas and of its success. Bancroft ( California , III, pp. 2-3) says that after Alta California became a territory of Mexico, "but [only] slight attention was paid to this distant frontier." Alamán advises reforms and a quick resolution to stop the demoralization of the area, which has the potential of being "one of the richest and most productive of the federation" (pp. 28-29). He also reports on colonization of the town of San Felipe de Austin in Texas (p. 47) and colonization in California (p. 48). Considerable attention is spent describing the recent economic decline of New Mexico, and the lack of development of the California missions. Alamán would later become a major historian of Mexico and a leading statesman. Cowan, p. 827; Howes A-97 ("Contains information on the missions in California and Texas"); Palau 4579 & 16087; Sabin 48552 (note). Not in Streeter Texas .
