Item Details
Description
(CALIFORNIA.) Valentín Gómez Farías. Order to secularize the missions of Alta and Baja California. 2 printed pages, 12 x 8 inches, plus integral blank, signed in type as Vice President, and by Joaquin de Iturbide as secretary; a few lines underlined faintly in red pencil, modern pencil notes; modern private library bookplate on final blank. Mexico, 17 August 1833 "In this important law providing for the complete secularization of the California missions, the Mexican Congress took cognizance of a strong feeling in California against the missions and set in motion a chain of events that led to their final abolition. Parochial clergy not belonging to any order were to replace the regular clergy, they were to be salaried from the pious fund, and no fees were to be collected for any purpose"--Streeter sale, IV:2468. See Bancroft's History of California, III:336 for an English translation. One other known at auction beside the Streeter copy, at a Swann sale, 7 January 1999, lot 36.
