From the Introduction:

The aims of the author of this volume have been, first, to show how the viceroy, the all-important representative of the Spanish kings in the New World, actually carried out the colonial government; and second, to describe the work of the one viceroy who, perhaps more than any other, laid the legal foundations for the Spanish colonial policy. In order to do this, the author has not only consulted most of the secondary materials available both in English and Spanish, but has had recourse to the unpublished documents in the National Library of Santiago de Chile, the National Library of Lima, Peru; the Library of Congress at Washington D.C.; the National Library at Madrid, Spain; and most important of all, the Archive of the Indies in Seville, Spain.
