This volume is the second part of a multi-volume general history of the Philippines written by the Spanish historian and politician D. José Montero y Vidal (1851-1936). A former official in the Spanish colonial government, Montero y Vidal's work is a significant primary source providing the Spanish colonial perspective on Philippine history, particularly the period leading up to the end of Spanish rule. Published in Madrid in 1894, a few years before the 1898 Philippine Revolution and the subsequent Spanish-American War, the book is considered a key historical reference. The text is notably a product of its time and has been critiqued by Filipino historians for its inherent colonial bias, especially in its account of events like the 1872 Cavite Mutiny, which it portrays as a grand conspiracy against Spain.
