[The following laws are translated from _Recopilación de leyes_,

lib. ix, tit. xxxxv, "Concerning the navigation and commerce of the

Filipinas Islands, China, Nueva España, and Perú." [1] The various laws

of the _Recopilación_ are not arranged chronologically, but they are

here thus given--retaining, however, the number of each law. Those laws

given in the present installment range in date between 1583 and 1609,

those beyond the latter date being reserved for a future volume. Some

of the laws, as shown by various dates, were promulgated more than

once, either in the original form, or possibly amended. When there

is more than one date, the chronological order follows the earliest

of these.]
