| Summary | "The Philippine Islands, 1493-1898 — Volume 25 of 55" by Emma Helen Blair, Edward Gaylord Bourne, and James Alexander Robertson is a historical account that encompasses the exploration, commerce, and ecclesiastical governance of the Philippine Islands during the early colonial period, specifically focusing on the years 1635-1636. This volume is part of an extensive series that examines the political, economic, and religious landscape of the Philippines as it interacted with European nations, particularly Spain, through the various documents and decrees of the time. The opening of this volume establishes its scope, highlighting the significant commercial and financial matters as well as ecclesiastical affairs that transpired during the specified years. It introduces themes of tension between the Spanish monarchy and local governance, particularly through the struggles between Governor Corcuera and Archbishop Guerrero that culminated in the Archbishop's exile. The editorial preface also hints at the increasing influence of Jesuit missionaries and details the complexities involving trade, taxation, and local governance, setting a backdrop for the rich historical documents that follow.
