DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS, TO WIT:

BE it remembered, that on the twelfth day of July, A. D. 1826, and in
the fifty-first year of the Independence of the United States of America, Cummings,
Hilliard, & Co. of the said district, have deposited in this office the title
of a book, the right whereof they claim as proprietors, in the words following,
to wit:

“Francis Berrian, or the Mexican Patriot.
Y si te acercas mas á nuestras dias,
O Clito, en las historias
Verás, donde con sangre las memorias
No estuvieren borradas,
Que de horrores manchadas
Vidas tantas están esclarecidas,
Que leerás mas escándalos que vidas.

Quevedo.”

In conformity to the act of the Congress of the United States, entitled “An
act for the encouragement of learning, by securing the copies of maps, charts, and
books, to the authors and proprietors of such copies, during the times therein
mentioned;” and also to an act, entitled “An act supplementary to an act,
entitled `An act for the encouragement of learning, by securing the copies of
maps, charts, and books, to the authors and proprietors of such copies, during the
times therein mentioned;' and extending the benefits thereof to the arts of designing,
engraving, and etching historical and other prints.”

JOHN W. DAVIS,
