A very good copy.In 1849 José Maria Lacunza (1809-1867) was called by Mexican President José Joaquin de Herrera to the portfolio of foreign relations, which he held till the end of Herrera's presidential term in January, 1851. This present work is Lacunza's report on the state of foreign and internal relations during his tenure as delivered to the General Congress in January of 1850. It was Lacunza's misfortune to have inherited the foreign minister position after the recent events of the Mexican-American War, which he dedicates a brief reference to. He also discusses the Indian situation along the border of the United States and Mexico. An important and scarce work written during a critical time in U.S. and Mexican history.
