He was primarily focused on political and military affairs. His history of the conquest of Peru, here in five books bound in three volumes, was a successful and critically-acclaimed work. With an appendix and index to the rear of Volume III. In a full calf binding. Externally very smart. Light rubbing to the joints and extremities.
