Date and publisher :Madrid, Ediciones de la Oficina de Joachin Ibarra, 1761. Description: “THE MOST INFORMATIVE WORK ON ALL ASPECTS OF MEXICAN MINING - PRINTED BY IBARRA”. First edition; a fine copy of an Ibarra publication, being a commentary on the laws affecting the mining industry of New Spain, etc., addressed to Charles III. by Francisco Xavier de Gamboa, advocate to the Royal Chancery and Inquisition at Mexico.The work contains many statistical tables, and is an interesting and important study of mineral law in Spanish America, by an authority. Francisco Xavier Gamboa was born at Guadalajara (Mexico) in 1717. The sudden death of the lawyer Martinez brought him into prominence at an early age: Gamboa was unexpectedly entrusted with the conduct of a very important lawsuit, which resulted in his being acclaimed as the foremost Mexican lawyer of his time. The Espasa Encyclopedia states: “In 1755 he was sent on an important mission to Madrid, and whilst there, made an exhaustive study of mining law, as many of the lawsuits upon which he was engaged dealt with this branch. Of his rectitude, intelligence and enlightenment, Gamboa left an imperishable record in his works, amongst which figures the code for the guidance of the slaves of Santo Domingo, and the ordinances of that Audiencia. *Sabin 26509; Hoover 82; Palau 97362. .
