| Summary | "The Philippine Islands, 1493-1898, Volume 44, 1700-1736" by Emma Helen Blair et al. is a historical account published in the early 20th century. This volume explores the political, economic, commercial, and religious conditions of the Philippine islands during the first third of the 18th century, detailing the interactions between early navigators and the native peoples, as well as the missions established during the Spanish colonial period. The opening of this volume introduces readers to the significant events and documents from 1700 to 1730, discussing key incidents such as the murder of Governor Bustamante in 1719, reflecting the lawlessness of the period. It also brings to light the challenges faced by Spanish officials and missionaries, particularly the Jesuit order, as they navigated a complex socio-political landscape rife with tyranny and oppression of the native population. The text emphasizes the Jesuits' efforts in ministering to diverse communities, illustrating their determination to convert and educate the inhabitants under challenging circumstances.
