La Legislatura del Estado Libre y Soberano de Mexico a los Habitantes del Mismo

Toluca: Impreso por Quijano y Gallo, 1847. Very good plus.. 11pp. Gathered signatures, stitched. Small ink notation to title page, minor scattered foxing. A rare monograph from the Mexican Congress to its people in the midst of the Mexican-American War. Here, the Mexican government implores the populace for an end internal bickering and instead to concentrate on defeating the American forces who intend to subjugate not only Mexico but all of the Americas. The Mexican legislature also argues clearly for guerrilla warfare. The work was issued just after the Battle of Cerro Gordo, and also printed as a broadside, with priority of the two editions unknown.

"Dated April 26, 1847, this rare and virtually unknown pamphlet criticizes the way the central government is handling the war. The writers are especially upset over taxation and the fiscal policy. Not in Haferkorn" - Garrett & Goodwin. OCLC lists just a single copy of this title, at the British Library.
