First edition of the "best Mexican source on the conduct of war" (James Soley in Winsor's Narrative and Critical History of America). Tall 8vo. v, (1, list of editors), 401, (3) pp. Illustrated with 14 lithograph portraits (some signed "P. Blanco"), 14 maps (lacking, as is often the case, one map, "Plano de las posciones . en la Resaca de Guerrero," but with another in duplicate), one folding table, printed both sides; the portraits are of Generals Taylor, Scott, and Worth, and Santa Anna and 10 other leading Mexican participants. Howes A-105 ("b," calling for 27 maps and plates): "The original Spanish edition was suppressed by Santa Anna." Sabin 48281: "Extremely rare. General Santa Anna, when last in power, ordered the edition to be destroyed, and imprisoned the authors." Haferkorn, p. 8: "Accounts of the war from the Mexican point of view, with criticism of General Santa Anna rather severe." Tutorow 3254: "Alcaraz and about a dozen associates met in Queretaro in 1847 to write their accounts of the war. Charges the United States with territorial aggression in Texas and blames the U.S. for starting the war." Mathes "Mexico on Stone," pp. 24 & 56. Larned 2008: "Best source on the conduct of the war." Streeter sale 279 (calling for 13 maps, 14 portraits, and the folding table): "This work was originally published in installments between September, 1848, and May, 1849, under the above general title. Each installment appeared accompanied by portraits or maps at the rate of two per number. When publication of the installments was completed, the various issues and their illustrations were sent to the binder by the subscribers. The final arrangement of the material varies from copy to copy." Palau 14138. Foxing and age-toning throughout, somewhat later owner's stamp scattered through the volume, but a very good copy. Contemporary Mexican quarter-leather and marbled boards, leather spine label. (#6310).…
