Excerpt from A Bibliography of the Spanish Press of California, 1833-1845 The compilation of this bibliography was begun many years ago, during the existence of the various: institutions referred to in these notes, and while their material was yet available for research. The unfortunate destruction in 1906, by fire of many libraries, public and private, has rendered excessively rare the few specimens of these early printed documents that are yet in existence. Libraries which may be mentioned in this connection are the Bohemian Club, Lees, Mercantile library, Society of California Pioneers, and the Archives.
