| Summary | "The Philippine Islands, 1493-1898, Volume 35, 1640-1649" by Emma Helen Blair et al. is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work presents a detailed examination of the Philippine Islands during a specific period, focusing on the explorations by early navigators, the descriptions of the islands and their peoples, the history of Catholic missions, and the social, political, economic, and religious conditions prevalent at the time. It offers insight into the region's colonial history, specifically the interactions between European nations and the Philippine Islands. The opening of the volume outlines the main themes that will be explored, notably the Dominican and Recollect missions, as well as the hostilities between the Spaniards and the Dutch in the eastern seas. It introduces the challenges faced by religious orders in their efforts to convert local populations and the conflicts that arose from European colonial ambitions. Key historical figures, various accounts of missionary activities, and events such as the loss of Formosa to the Dutch are highlighted, setting the stage for a deeper examination of religious, economic, and military developments in the Philippines during this turbulent era.
