Pigafetta describes a city called Cingapola in Zubu, and Leyte, on his map, is in the north called Baybay, and in the south Ceylon. No mention is made of it in the Estado geografico of the Franciscans, published at Manila in 1855.
Tuvo, además, misión confidencial de la administración de Bustamante para arreglar el reconocimiento de nuestra independencia por España, de que se desistió en virtud de sus informes; había estado asimismo con carácter diplomático en Berlín, y para apreciar el resultado general de sus gestiones, bastará recordar que él negoció casi todos nuestros primeros tratados con potencias extranjeras.

El monopolio ejercido por el hombre sobre las funciones públicas, ha sido, como otras tantas instituciones ahora desaparecidas, basado en la fuerza y violencia y con el fin de perpetuarlo se parapeta detrás de la muralla de prejuicios levantada a costa del tiempo y del orden de cosas establecido, lanzando de allí los dardos de la sátira y del ridículo contra aquéllos que demandan la cesación de ese estado de violencia.
The crater is perhaps a league in circumference, it is highest on the northern side, and its interior is shaped like an egg-shell: the depth of the crater apparently extends half-way down the height of the mountain."

In the Manila Estado geographico for 1865, the height is given, without any statement as to the source whence the estimate is derived, as 7,030 feet.
Zamora ranks as the most fanatical spot in Michoacan, which is itself so throttled by the church that it is known as the "estado torpe," the torpid State. Its bishop is rated second in all Mexico only to that of the sacred city of Guadalupe.
