"Prologo al letor" (prelim. p. [13]-[60]) by Francisco Ignacio de Porres

Boston Public Library (Rare Books Department) copy contains MS note, signed by M.R., respecting the statement of Salvá that Navarrete was the author of this work. With regard to authorship George Ticknor writes: "Faxardo's claim to its authorship has been questioned; but the dedication [by Saavedra Fajardo] in Rivadeneyra's Biblioteca, Tom. xxv, p. 389 ... ought, I think, to remove all doubt. From this, the 'República' seems to have been its author's first work,--a circumstance which will account for that light and festive tone which, among other things, caused the question to be raised." (From a BPL Rare Books Department catalog card.)

Boston Public Library (Rare Books Department) copy "obtained by O. Rich from the library of Thomas de Yriarte, and contains the emendations, in his autograph, that he made to prepare it for the press."--George Ticknor
