Notes: "Of this English translation three hundred copies printed by the Grabhorn Press, San Francisco, in June 1929." The text was drafted by Don Felipe de Neve, governor of California, on June 1, 1779, and printed in Mexico, 1784. In 1874 The California Historical Society published a reprint of which all but six copies are believed to have been destroyed by fire. Of these, two are now in the Bancroft Library at Berkeley, and a third--from which the present edition is taken--is privately owned in San Francisco. c̲f̲.
