"The only voluiuo published of this rare and valuable work. It contains the 
most authentic notes on the literature and literary men of Mexico, and became 
the basis of Beristain's celebrated ' Biljl. Hisp. Amer.', which appeared sixty years 
later. Eguiara was one of the most talented members of the Academy of Mexico." — 
Saiiii's Dictionary, Ko. 22060. 
"It is unfortunate that no more of this Important work was published. It is 
probable that not many copies were printed of this volume, as it is not often met 
with."— 7fic/i,1, 115. 
" Egui[a]ra was a native of Mexico and occupied the Chair of Theology in the 
University of that city. Beristain confesses that he should never have undertaken 
his own Biblioteca if Egui[a]ra had not 'opened the door and showed him the 
way.'" — Ramirez Bih. Mcx., 2^0.298.

grew in proportions, by the slow accretions which dut,v and experience furnished, 
the author's vanity was easily flattered into the design of producing a work of
