Hennessey & Ingalls, Los Angeles, new edition, 1973. Cloth, 8vo, 24 cm,. xv, [1], 79 pp, ills. From the blurb: "Since its original appearance as an article in the Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians, the "Park List" has become a basic bibliographic tool for the study of American architectural history. It establishes which books were present in America at various stages of the colonial period and where they were located, thus identifying the sources for the stylistic, pictorial and structural characteristics of pre-revolutionary architecture. Mrs. Park developed her list through a careful examination of contemporary records consisting for the most part of booksellers' catalogues and inventories of private and semi-public libraries. Her analysis of the frequency of occurrence of certain titles, as well as which titles do not occur at all, reveals much about the nature of colonial architecture and the cultural climate of eighteenth-century America. The sources of these references are thoroughly annotated in a special section devoted to them. The list itself includes the dates of different editions of each work, together with locations in modern as well as eighteenth-century collections. For this first publication in readily available book form, Mrs. Park has considerably expanded her material as a result of her own recent findings and continued contacts with the field's leading scholars. Nineteen new titles have been added to the original eighty-seven, as well as a number of new location symbols and source references.

From the introduction - "This exhibition tries to show through books and manuscripts not only what Scotland has given to the civilization of the world, but what it has received from it. The visitor will see how the balance of this account has varied through the years. In the Middle Ages and in early modem times, Scotland owed a deep intellectual and cultural debt to foreign countries, particularly France, and many of the medieval manuscripts and early printed books on display, though preserved and treasured in this country, have come from abroad. Likewise, the beginnings of printing in Scotland are little more than an off- shoot of earlier developments in France. In the 17th century, beginning perhaps with Napier's discovery of logarithms, Scotland starts to repay its debts, and by the end of the 18th century the Scottish contribution to philosophy, history, literature, architecture and science is far greater than could have been expected from so small a country. Since then Scotland has remained a cultural centre of European significance, sometimes for largely romantic reasons, sometimes for more practical qualities, but never has it been a place to overlook. ‘The Eye of the Mind: the Scot and his Books’ shows something of this cultural and intellectual development, and of the heritage of books and learning preserved or created in this country. It consists principally of material from the collections of the National Library, but much has been borrowed from private owners and from other public or institutional libraries. That there still are so many important libraries in Scotland is a further indication of the respect accorded in this country to the written word both now and in the past..".

In the tumultuous decades following Mexico's independence from Spain, religion provided a unifying force among the Mexican people, who otherwise varied greatly in ethnicity and socioeconomic status. Accordingly, religion and the popular cultures surrounding it form the lens through which Terry Rugeley focuses this cultural history of southeast Mexico from independence (1821) to the rise of the dictator Porfirio Díaz in 1876. Drawing on a wealth of previously unused archival material, Rugeley vividly reconstructs the folklore, beliefs, attitudes, and cultural practices of the Maya and Hispanic peoples of the Yucatán. He explores folklore and folk wisdom, urban piety, iconography, and anticlericalism. Interspersed among the chapters are detailed portraits of individual people, places, and institutions, that offer a full and fascinating history of the outlooks, entertainments, and daily lives of the inhabitants of southeast Mexico in the nineteenth century., University of Texas Press, 2001, 0<
