Published on 1850 by
A chronological register of letters from 1504-1563, pertaining to the Spanish conquest of America, in particular to the treatment and trade of Negro and Indian slaves, copied by Sir Arthur Helps from the Muñoz Collection in the Biblioteca Nacional in Madrid. All of the letters, which date from August 26, 1504 to October 10, 1563, refer in some way to the slave trade in the Spanish colonies of the New World, not only to the sale and transport of Indian slaves to work in the mines and canefields, but to the importation of Negro slaves from Africa and Brazil by the Spanish and Portuguese. Recurrent themes are the economic importance of slaves, and the harsh treatment of them by the Spanish. The letters include excerpts from legal testimony in cases involving ownership of slaves; royal cédulas concerning importation and customs duties on slaves; directives from the king to treasury officials and colonial administrators; protests to Carlos V from slave-owners concerning new laws freeing Indian slaves; and requests to the Consejo de Indias for permission to import slaves. Correspondence from church officials concerns the religious education of the Indians and their payment of tithes, and protests their harsh treatment. There are many references throughout to the decimation of the native populations of the Caribbean islands, such as Cuba, Santo Domingo, and Puerto Rico. Some of the letters are copied in both volumes.
