| Summary | "The Philippine Islands, 1493-1898; Volume 46, 1721-1739" by Emma Helen Blair et al. is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume forms part of a comprehensive series documenting the history, exploration, and the socio-political landscape of the Philippines, specifically from 1721 to 1739. The book focuses on the events in the islands during this period, including the development of educational systems and the conflicts involving local pirates, Spanish officials, and missionaries. At the start of this volume, readers are introduced to the complex historical context of the Philippines during the early 18th century, focusing on political, economic, and social dynamics. The opening portion discusses significant events such as the controversies surrounding the murder of a governor, attacks by Moro pirates, and the efforts to establish education systems in the islands. It outlines the government's attempts to fortify the region and the evolving role of religious orders in education. This background sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the Filipinos' interactions with colonial powers and the gradual introduction of formal education into their communities.
