This was printed in No. 4 of the Publications, and of the reprints I sent the first copy to Mr. Henry C. Lea, the distinguished historian. In acknowledging it Mr. Lea suggested that I send a copy to Colonel David Fergusson of Seattle, Washington, adding: There is no one who knows more than he about the Mexican Inquisition or takes more interest in it. To this suggestion the present volume is due, and it is hoped that much more that is important for the history of the Jews in Mexico may follow in these Publications from the same generous sources.Colonel David Fergusson was born in Scotland in 1824 and came to America while a young man. He was Colonel of the First California Volunteer Cavalry in the Civil War, and, with a portion of his command, went over the border and into the interior of Mexico in quest of some Federal cannon that had found their way into the hands of the authorities of a Mexican city. He was also for a time in command of the Department of Arizona. Resigning his commission some time later, Colonel Fergusson took up his residence in the neighboring Republic and resided over twenty years in different parts of the country. He was prominent in mining, banking and railway enterprises, and secured the concessions for the two first roads built by American capital.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
