Sumario:The first full-length study of a significant figure of the Spanish Enlightenment"This is a fine work--clear, well written, intelligent. ... It is quite original, fills a need in the literature, and is satisfyingly complete. We have no other detailed treatment of the royalist government in Guatemala during the greater part of the independence period, and no other treatment of Bustamante or his administration in such detail."--Timothy E. Anna, author ofSpain and the Loss of America"Bustamantes tenure in office is especially significant because he advocated many of the Spanish Enlightenment themes, he was a senior naval commander, and he had served as Alejandro Malaspinas co-planner and commander during the great Spanish scientific maritime expedition and imperial inspection mission of 1789-1794."--Christon I. Archer, author ofThe Army in Bourbon Mexico, 1760-1810
