Excerpt from The California Textbook System: An Indictment of a Plan That Bars Free Textbooks, That Prevents a Democratic System of Local Adoptions, That Interferes With Our Educational Development, and That Costs the People Unreasonable Prices for Poorly Dressed Books "But we shall none of us err if, without further knowledge than we already have, we make up our minds that the system itself is rotten." This editorial in the Chronicle would seem to indicate that the people of California are about to come out of a twenty-six-year trance. Back in 1885 California ventured upon an experiment that no other state had ever tried, and one that no other state since then has deemed wise to try. Through specious argument and gross misrepresentation, the people of California voted in 1885 to compile and publish their own textbooks. It was loudly proclaimed and fondly believed that such a system would yield superior books, at a reduced cost, to those offered by the several publishing firms - denominated for political purposes as "the book trust." Thus the people enthusiastically created a real monopoly in the authorship, manufacture and sale of textbooks. All competition was eliminated. The grave responsibility of compiling the books was entrusted to the State Board of Education - a board containing no members experienced in producing texts. It was cheerfully assumed, however, that successful authors of textbooks were indigenous to California even as the giant redwoods. The serious task of managing the business end of the undertaking - the manufacture of the books - was placed in the hands of a politician selected, in nearly every instance, by big business interests which hoped to profit from favorable contracts. Truly a promising combination of politics and business to handle free from competition an enterprise running well toward a quarter million dollars a year! And this combination could not lose because it had the big purse of the State to fall back upon. The cheerful confidence of the people in 1885 in establishing this system seems pathetic to us now. Was not the plan in both its features an invitation to disaster? On the authorship side we deliberately turned our backs on books that had been tested in the fierce heat of competition all over the United States. Surely it was a provincial, short-sighted pride that refused the best the country at large had to offer, in favor of the work of unknown, untried California authors! On the business end we provided an unholy combination of politics and business, thereby laying a sure foundation for faulty service and grave scandals.

"First edition of a title commonly referred to as “The First Text-Book Printed in California;” although Augustin Vicente Zamorano issued three small educational pamphlets in the 1830s. Cowan more accurately writes “This is believed to be the first educational work published in California after American rule.” It was sold by one of the earliest California booksellers, Marvin & Hitchcock, and published by them in San Francisco just three years after the conquest of California from Mexico. Most of the text consists of a Spanish-language grammar encouraging bilingual education in the new state. At the end is a historical essay which includes statistics and information about California. The author on the title page is José de Urcullu, a former Spanish infantry captain who made a living writing liberal theatrical works before the fall of the Constitution of Cadiz (1814), at which time Urcullu went to London and established a career as a writer, mathematician, educator, grammarian, and Spanish / English translator. Urcullu composed numerous catechisms for children, small volumes in duodecimo, illustrated with engravings, from 100 to 150 pages, which served as didactic introductions in various disciplines. It is unknown who adapted Urcullu's Spanish Grammar for California, but one candidate that has been suggested is A. Armstrong"--John Howell for Books catalog, "California Books and Ephemera," July 1, 2014.
