"The Philippine Islands, 1493-1898, Volume 45, 1736" by Emma Helen Blair, Edward Gaylord Bourne, and James Alexander Robertson is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume explores the commercial relations and interactions between the Philippine Islands and Spain from the 17th to the 18th century, particularly focusing on the complexities of trade and the economic climate of the time. It provides insights into the political, economic, and religious conditions of the islands as influenced by European nations. At the start of this volume, the content centers on the dynamics of commerce between the Philippines and Nueva España (Mexico), particularly the ongoing disputes among merchants regarding trade practices and regulations. There is a detailed exploration of complaints from Cadiz merchants about the adverse impacts of Manila's increasing prosperity, especially concerning the lucrative Chinese silk trade. The tension between preserving Spanish commercial interests and fostering the economic growth of the Philippines sets the stage for discussions about various educational institutions and the policies surrounding them, extending into broader discussions of governance, economics, and cultural exchange during the Spanish colonial period.
