[3] Of the one hundred fifty-six books which the censorship of the
Manila Customs refused entrance because they are obscene, five were
printed in French and one hundred fifty-one in Spanish. In English,
it is known, no obscene literature is found.

[5] This book was printed in 1844. Today, in the year 1920, the
seventh edition of the Rueda is sold in Manila and is used in some of
the private schools. This edition is a reprint of the original edition
without any correction so that in history Japan is not even mentioned,
France is a kingdom, Prussian is separated from the rest of Germany;
and in Spain, Isabela II is the one who still happily reigns. This
is the famous book recommended by the priest who was interested in
extending instruction in the Philippines.
