Regulations for Governing the Province of the Californias Approved by His Majesty by Royal Order, Dated October 24, 1781. San Francisco: Grabhorn Press, 1929.

One of 300 copies printed by the Grabhorn Press.
As a means of improving political and military administration, and thereby, defense of the northern frontier against potential English and French incursions, Visitor General José de Gálvez planned the creation of two entities similar to captaincy generalities, beginning with the Comandancy General of the Provincias Internas of the Viceroyalty of New Spain, to extend from Texas westward to the Californias. By Royal Order of Carlos III in the fateful year of 1776, the new political entity was officially created and Teodoro de Croix was appointed as commandant general. Following extensive visitation, Croix recognized the immensity of territory included and divided the entity into an eastern and western division. The Provincias Internas del Occidente were to comprise the provinces of Alta and Baja California, Sonora, and Pimería Alta, the latter finally communicating with Alta California by a land route established through the Colorado Desert by Juan Bautista de Anza between 1774 and 1776. Thus, the seat of government for the western Provincias Internas was established at Arizpe in Sonora by Croix. Reorganization on the northern frontier also affected Alta California more directly. Felipe de Neve, appointed provincial governor in 1775, had, as had his predecessors, maintained his seat of government at the traditional capital of Loreto. In 1776, Neve was ordered to transfer his governorship to Monterey, with Loreto reduced to the seat of the lieutenant governor, Fernando de Rivera y Moncada; this was the first political division of the Californias. As governor–resident of the growing province of Alta California with eight missions and three presidios, Neve, an Enlightenment secularist, sought to establish closer political control and halt jurisdictional conflict between the military and ecclesiastical authorities by establishing the unquestioned authority of the governor. Thus, enmity developed between Franciscan mission president Fray Junípero Serra and Neve, who responded by promotion of the establishment of civil settlements, pueblos, in San José de Guadalupe in 1777 and, later, Nuestra Señora de los Angeles de la Porciúncula in 1781. As a means of clarifying and establishing the authority of the governor of Alta California, in 1779 Neve issued a detailed and extensive regulation in fifteen sections for the presidios, missions, and towns of the province. These ordinances, the first established exclusively for the Californias, promoted reform in the presidios; recognized the need for improved defense with a presidio at Santa Bárbara and detachments for the defense of towns; and sought to reduce corruption in supplying presidial soldiers. Most importantly, the regulations detailed the requisites for civil settlement, local government, agriculture and livestock raising, and land holding, and, much to the concern of Serra, reduced the future number of missionaries to one per mission, promoting the increased role of self–government among mission neophytes. These regulations were placed into effect by order of Commandant General Teodoro de Croix and, decisively so by a royal order of October 24, 1781, retroactive to June 1, 1779. The published Reglamento remained in force as one of the Spanish laws recognized by the Mexican Republic in 1828 until the transfer of Alta California to the United States in February 1848, and it was employed in determining land claims following California statehood in 1850. Tragically, the Reglamento became an even more important local legal document with the effective terrestrial isolation of the Californias from the viceroyalty as a result of the massacre of Rivera y Moncada, his party of settlers, and the Franciscan missionaries on the Colorado River at Yuma in 1780. As in the case of many decrees, proclamations, and other legal documents, few printed copies of the Reglamento have survived use and handling by administrators. Reprinted in the great Mexican compilation of laws, Recopilación de leyes, decretos, bandos... published by Basilio José Arrillaga in Mexico, 1833–1842, the Reglamento appeared in a limited Spanish edition in Santa Clara in 1874, in a bilingual edition in San Francisco in 1929, and again in Spanish in Aranjuez in 1994. ——W. Michael Mathes Edwin Grabhorn had been heard to remark that he printed this book in lieu of another edition of Gray's Elegy. [GB 119].  $225.00   16331

PALOÚ, Fray Francisco, O.F.M.. Noticias de la Nueva California, escritas por el Rev. Padre Fr. Francisco Paloü. San Francisco: Imprenta de Edouardo Bosqui y Cia., 1874. Four volumes. xx, 270 + 301 + 315 + 53 pp. Illustrated with 18 original mounted albumen photographs. Tall octavo, original contemporary three–quarter dark green sheep over marbled boards, spines with raised bands and lettered in gilt, marbled endpapers, top edges gilt. A fine set. Second edition, limited edition (one of 100 copies, numbered and initialled by John T. Doyle, who wrote the introduction); the first edition was published in Mexico in 1857. [California Historical Society Publication].
The first publication of the California Historical Society: "This is a reprint of the writings of the first priest of the Mission at San Francisco ... The Noticias was selected by the Society for its first publication because it concerned ‘the earliest Spanish settlement of this region, .... was written at the old Mission of San Francisco, and was undoubtedly the first piece of literary work done here...' " –Evans. Hill: "Most notable in this edition are the eighteen mounted albumen photographs." Kurutz notes that Noticias is one of only 21 California books illustrated withoriginal photographs before 1890. Wagner: "The work was compiled by Father Paloú while in California, and largely while at the Dolores mission at San Francisco from information derived from individuals connected with the various expeditions to and in California, and from original narratives. It has the appearance of having been intended for publication, but probably the idea was abandoned and instead Paloú wrote his life of Serra." Some of the photographs in this volume relate to San Diego and include a city view, San Diego Mission, Commercial Bank of San Diego, and olive orchard and palms at the Mission, others are of Mission Santa Barbara, Mission San Carlos, the old customs house San Francisco, etc.. The views were taken by prominent photographers, including Bradley & Rulofson, John R. Jarboe, E.J. Muybridge, and W.W. Stewart. The history's survival is a story of chance and some fortunate royal forethought. Doyle's introduction has some interesting passges, especially that in which he describes his visit to San Luis Rey mission, then in ruins. Some of the photos in this volume apepared first in Descriptive, Historical, Commercial, Agricultural, and Other Important Information Relative to the City of San Diego, California, Illustrated with 22 Photographic Views. Containing Also a Business Directory of the City. ( [San Diego]: Office of the "San Diego Daily Union, 1874"; see Quebedeaux 63). Francisco Paloú was born in Palma, Mallorca in 1725, and entered the Franciscan Order at the Convento de Santa Mariá de los Ángeles de Jesús there, after his primary education, in 1739. He continued his studies in Palma under Fray Junipero Serra, O.F.M., and began a lifelong friendship with him. In 1743 he was ordained, and rather than teaching, he decided to join his mentor upon completion of his studies in 1749. Fray Francisco, Fray Junipero and eighteen other friars were to become missionairies in the New World. He was assigned, together with Serra and other classmates, to the Colegio de San Fernando in the City of Mexico. He and Serra walked to the Sierra Gorda in Queretaro to begin missionary labors in 1750. Paloú was supposed to go to Texas to replace ministers killed by the Comanches but remained in the Colegio de San Fernando in 1767. Paloú was assigned to San Francisco Xavier Vigge–Biaundo; however, with Serra's departure for the founding of San Diego in Alta California in 1769, he was stationed at Loreto as father president of the peninsular mission, where he remained until 1773, when the peninsular missions were turned over the Dominican Order, and he left to join Serra in Alta California; en route, he established the first division of the Californias. Paloú served at San Carlos Borromeo (Carmel) and as the first resident minister at San Francisco de Asís (Dolores), whilst being an active missionary and explorer. Following Serra's death in 1784, Fray Francisco after a brief service as father president of the California missions, returned to the City of Mexico, where he devoted his time to preparing a biography of his mentor for the press. In addition to this manuscript, published as Relacion Historica de la Vida y Aplostolicas Tareas del Venerable Padre Junipero Serra ...(Mexico, 1787), Paloú also carried an extensive narrative–diary of his service in the Californias, Noticias de la Nueva California; however, before it could be prepared for publication, he died at Santa Cruz de Queretaro in 1789. Two contemporary copies of the manuscript are found in the Archivo General de la Nacion, Mexico (Ramo Historia 22–23) and Real Academia de la Historia, Madrid (Coleccion Juan Bautista Muñoz). This extremely valuable account of the Serra years of Franciscan history in the Californias, and particularly important for that of the ex–Jesuit missions, was first published in Documentos para la historia de Mexico in 1857 from the Archivo General de la Nacion copy, and the very limited second edition of the Noticias de la Nueva California appeared in San Francisco seventeen years later, taken from the first. A better–known annotated English translation by Herbert E. Bolton, Historical Memoirs of New California was published in four volumes in 1926 –W. Michael Mathes. [Cowan I, pp. 170–171.
