Escrita por un espaliol delarga experiencia en el pats y amante del progreso. Madrid: Imp. de"El Pueblo," 1869.Despite certain ambiguities, I follow the opinion of the Augustinianhistorians who attribute the above work to Fray Casimiro, although itsauthorship is disputed, some claiming it for Vicente Barrantes." In any case,the ideas in the book hardly differ from what the illustrious Augustinianpresents in his other writings, as we shall see later.Casimir° Herrero was born in 1824 in Villameriel de Campos, Palencia,went to the Philippines in 1851 and, after holding various positions in theIslands, was sent in 1869 to Madrid as Procurator for his Order. In this office,he worked in close collaboration with the Franciscan Fray Joaquin de Coria,but in open controversy with the Regidor brothers and Rafael Maria de Labra.His name, like Coria's is therefore intimately linked with the dramatic eventsof Cavite, although only indirectly.72
