Description: "Comprehensive survey of land legislation and policy from colonial period to end of 19th century focuses primarily on origins and effects of the 1850 law. The law failed to regularize the land situation in the countryside because the central regime could or would not enforce it; state land laws after 1889 were similarly ineffective"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
