"CENSORSHIP,
Carefully read the manuscript entitled BicolHispana Grammar Lessons,
composed by R. P. Fr. Santos Herrejon, parish priest of the town
of Oas in Albay, which was entrusted to me by V. R. for censorship, I must state
that I consider this little work as a complete work of Art of the
Spanish language explained in. Bicol language, whose book is one of a kind
and can be considered as of absolute necessity so that the Indians of the
province of Albay, Camarines Sur, Camarines Norte and Burias can learn
for this Art the Castilian language, whose teaching is sought by the Government
Spanish spread among the natives of these islands. It must therefore, in my opinion,
procure the printing of said manuscript and it would be desirable to
ordered by the Superiority to be declared a text in children's schools
of both sexes in the towns of the aforementioned provinces and islands:
God keep Your Excellency for many years. Manila February 4, 1881. Fr.
