Guadalajara: Imprenta de D. Mariano Rodriguez, 1821. Very good plus.. 37 [i.e.,27] pp. Disbound. Edges painted red. Scattered, light foxing at fore-edge margin. Scarce Guadalajara imprint that comprises the statutes of the recently founded Sociedad Patriotica de Nueva Galicia, which was intended to promote agriculture, arts, and sciences in Jalisco. The first three articles of the statues outline the interests of the society, which also extended into other areas such as public education, mining, and industry; define the different levels of membership, and their obligations; and set out the requirements for admission. Many of the remaining articles enumerate the duties of various club officers, but the last several discuss the makeup and purpose of several committees, prizes and other remunerations granted by the society, and various ceremonies specific to the club. OCLC locates just one copy, at Berkeley.
