Snippets and Summary:
On the fifth of March, 1774, Viceroy Antonio Maria de Bucareli announced a radically new policy toward the beggars of Mexico City: I have resolved . . . that the opening of the Poor House shall be on the nineteenth of this month, to which end I order that all beggars of both sexes present themselves to said hospice, where they shall be treated with charity and allowed to leave . . . if their fortunes vary, be it through inheritance, donation, or a means of earning a living, taking advantage of the training they shall receive, so that they cease to be beggars. . . .
