This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1824 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter X. Number of mines--laws respecting mines--quantity of silver raised--state of mining operations--condition of mines--smelting--amalgamation. The kingdom of Mexico in its present state contains nearly 500 places (reales y realitos) celebrated for the mines in their environs.

Till that period the proprietors of mines were not united into a corporation, or the Court of Madrid, at least, would not recognise them as an established body by a constitutional act. The legislation of the mines was formerly in infinite confusion, because, at the beginning of the conquest, under the reign of Charles the...
