Duham NC [sic]: Duke University Press, 1927. xii, 240p., illustrations on glazed inserted stock: a frontis portrait, a folded line map of the Mixton War (last attempt to be delivered from the Spanish) and a grim battlefield scene. First edition hardbound in textured dark green cloth boards and plain printed dust jacket. A wonderful copy, cloth very fresh and bright, dj has a sunned spine panel and some edgewear (but not price-clipped), overall excellent condition. Pastedown bears the neat ownership of Clifton B. Kroeber, himself a professor and son (?) of Theodora. Love the rendering of Duke's campus site, but university compositors wrote it ok on copyright page.

When the Spanish crown issued the New Laws that put restrictions on the grants of elite conquerors awarded grants of labor encomenderos, the viceroy prudently refrained from implementing the most draconian aspects of the edicts, which no longer permitted an encomendero family holding the grant in perpetuity.
