About This Item
Two volume set. London, Henry Colburn, 1828. First Edition. 8vo 8 - 9 tall. 591pp; 730pp. Good. Original full leather binding, edges speckled; includes both maps Mexico and Map of the Routes to the Principal Mining Districts in the Central States of Mexico; all plates are in b&w, except one in color (Vol. II, p. 522). Boards have moderate wear; front gutter of Vol. II is cracked; both volumes have moderate foxing to plates; map in Vol. I has a 2 tear along fold; map in Vol. II has 4 split along fold and ½ closed tear. Wards work is one of the most exhaustive accounts of Mexico and its mining activities in the years following its independence from Spain. Written with a meticulous attention to detail, it provided a unique first-hand interpretation of Mexico's early governments achievements, highlighted the risks and opportunities Mexico presented to potential British investors, and emphasized the benefits of free trade and how important it was to become meaningfully acquainted with the country before investing in one or several ventures there (Journal of Latin American Studies, Vol. 50, Issue 2).
