The Philippine Islands, 1493-1898 — Volume 07 of 55 by Blair, Bourne, and Robertson
"The Philippine Islands, 1493-1898 — Volume 07 of 55" by Emma Helen Blair, James Alexander Robertson, and Edward Gaylord Bourne is a historical account compiled in the early 20th century. This volume focuses on the years 1588 to 1591, detailing the early interactions between European powers and the Philippine archipelago. It addresses essential topics such as the political and economic conditions in the islands, the Catholic missions, and the social dynamics amongthe local populations and Spanish colonizers. The beginning of this volume lays a foundation for understanding the complex socio-political landscape of the Philippines during the late 16th century. It highlights significant changes such as the suppression of the Audiencia and the appointment of a royal governor, which reflect the evolving governance in the archipelago. Key figures like Bishop Domingo de Salazar and Governor Santiago de Vera emerge through their correspondence with King Felipe II, discussing urgent matters such as the inadequate supply of religious ministers for the natives, conspiracies against Spaniards, and the burgeoning trade with China, which is creating both opportunities and challenges for the colonial administration. The opening portion sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the interplay between indigenous customs and colonial pressures, all framed within the broader historical context of European expansion in Asia.
