Excerpt from The Philippine Islands, 1493-1898, Vol. 44: Explorations by Early Navigators, Descriptions of the Islands and Their Peoples, Their History and Records of the Catholic Missions, as Related in Contemporaneous Books and Manuscripts; 1700-1736
The present volume covers the first third of the eighteenth century, besides reviewing the Jesuit missions in Filipinas during that which preceded it. The only occurrence of notable interest in the former period is the murder of Governor Bustamante by a mob which is even more remarkable for the utterly lawless manner in which the deed was com mitted, and the successful efforts made to sti e its proper investigation and punishment. The memo rial of the religious orders (1701) discloses vividly the tyranny and oppression suffered by the Indians at the hands of their Spanish masters. Especially valuable is Abreu's historical sketch of the com merce between the islands and N ueva Espana up to 1736, and of the sharp controversy which this aroused between the traders of Manila and those of Cadiz and Sevilla.
