Notes

  • -  Pedro Medinueta y Múzquiz served as Viceroy of New Granada from 1797 to 1803. At the end of his term of office he followed a custom of over 250 years duration and wrote a lengthy instruction for his successor in office. The purpose of such instructions was to summarize the state of the viceroyalty at the time of the transition from one Viceroy to the next. Some of them, such as the present one, are quite lengthy and give a valuable administrative view of the viceroyalties.
