Collection of orations for two heroes of the war for Mexican independence, who died in 1829: priest Jose Manuel Sartorio (1746-1829) and Lieutenant Colonel Ignacio Paz de Tagle. Jose Manuel Sartorio was a priest in residence at the Colegio de San Ildefonso, and owned a 4,000-volume personal library that would end up in the Sutro library. When the war for Mexican independence began, Sartorio sided with the insurgents. A popular and influential figure, Sartorio held many administrative positions before and after the war, including a spot on the provisional government which, on September 28, 1821, signed the Act of Independence of the Mexican Empire, the birth of the Mexican state. The second work is dedicated to Lieutenant Colonel Ignacio Paz de Tagle and reads the funeral oration that was given for him at his wake in the church of Santa Veracruz on February 20, 1829. This was drafted by José Nicolás Maniau y Torquemada, Priest of the Tabernacle of the Puebla Cathedral and author of several orations. The third work is also a funeral oration, now for Sartorio.
