22 Mexico: Archivo General 
de México (Mexico, 1853-1857, 4 series, 20 volumes), but since this work is 
so extremely rare, since the source of the documents has been little known, 
and since frequent cross-references will be made to the “ Memorias ” in this 
Guide, it is thought best to include here an indication of the principal docu- 
ments in the “ Memorias” pertinent to our subject, with references to such 
as are printed in the Documentos. It may be said that even the introductory 
notes to the “‘ Memorias ” documents printed in the Documentos para la His- 
toria de México are usually not, as they might seem, those of the editor of 
the printed work, but those of the “ Padre Colector”, who was Father 
Figueroa or his agent.
