VERNON PAPERS. Vol. LXXV (ff. 274). Credentials (26 May 1739-10 Feb. 1740), in Spanish, of D. Pedro de Castro Figueroa y Salazar, Duque de la Conquista, as Viceroy of New Spain, consisting of his commissions as Viceroy, Captain General, and President of the Audiencia of Mexico, instructions, personal licences, and numerous letters of notification to the Mexican authorities civil and ecclesiastical. Nearly every document is signed by Philip V, "Yo el Rey," and his Secretary, D. Francisco Campo de Arve, while some bear in addition certificates of registration. These papers fell into the hands of Adm. Vernon in 1740, but the Viceroy himself evaded capture and proceeded to office. Prefixed to the volume is a letter from John Gray to Adm. Vernon, 13 Mar. 1748[9], accompanying translations into English of several items which here follow their originals.
