Description: "Basically an unrevised and much welcome reprint of El reformismo ilustrado en Puerto Rico, Gutiérrez del Arroyo's principal contribution to Puerto Rican history (see HLAS 19:3766). That work, originally published in 1953, became a model for historians because of its use of sources, especially Secretary-to-the-Governor Pedro Tomás de Córdova's Memorias geográficas, históricas, económicas y estadísticas de la Isla de Puerto Rico. Author both relies on and questions Córdova's account of the political, administrative, economic, and social impact of the Bourbon reforms and enlightened despotism in Puerto Rico"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [217]-225).
