      and with every page initialled, and at the end of the book
      signed by Juan Gallo de Andrada, our clerk of the chamber,
      resident in our council, in order to know whether the said
      printing matches the original; or bring faith in public deed
      evidencing that a corrector appointed by us had seen
      and corrected the above mentioned printing, and that
      it was printed according to the original, and that the errata
      already highlighted continue, for each of these books to be
      printed in this manner, so the retail price (tasa) for each
      volume is assessed. And we order the printer who printed
      the said book in that manner; not to print the beginning
      or the first sheet of it, and not to give more than
      one book with the original to the author, or to the person
      at which expenses the book is published, and no one else
      until the moment in which the book is corrected and
      its retail price is fixed by our council, and that process being
      done, and not otherwise, he may print the mentioned
      beginning [of the book] and the first sheet of paper and
      he may include succesively our authorisation and approval,
      retail price (tasa) and errata, with the caution of the penalties
      stated in the laws and orders (pragmáticas) of our kingdom.
      And we order our council and whatever other justices in it,
      to guard and apply this our rule, and what it contains,
      Valladollid, twenty six of September, 1764

                                          I THE KING

                                          By order of the King our master:

                                                            Juan de Amézqueta.
