columns Spanish and Mexican. 
The only copy I have seen of this work, that in the library of .John Carter 
Brown, was unaccompanied by the second part. Icazbalceta's Apuntes describes 
the latter as follows : 
232 Segunda Parte. * 
The same title, imprint and date; 16 p. 11. ; 11. 13-143; 11. 1-104 with the Index 
Lucorum Commuuium hujus Secundae Partis. 
Colophon : 
"Excudebat Ludonicus Ocharte Figuerou Mexici, santi Jacobi de 
Tlatilulco. Anno Domini 1001." 
In a letter received from Sr. Icazbalceta, he says : 
"These counsels contain much in the Mexican language. I have seen three 
different title pages' of the second part. There are copies which contain the 
same title page as the first, even with the words Primera Parte ; others have the 
same, but with the title Segunda Parte. I have seen moreover one loose one 
totally different from the others in regard to characters and escutcheons. The 
strangest part is that in the other title pages the license of the Viceroy com- 
mences on the verso of the title, and in the loose one the reverse side is blank, 
so that I do not know how it could belong to the copies. In the First Part the 
fold C consists of 9 leaves; one iiage was left out in the first impressions, and two 
were substituted for it; for this reason page 14 is duplicated."
