Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Christopher Colum bus first set foot on America ssoil, he found it already tenanted by a people which, though differing from his own race in customs and color, were as perfect specimens of humanity as himself and followers. Only intent upon new discoveries, and animated but by the desire of subjugating whatever new countries he might find to the crown of Spain, the great explorer regarded this new and strange people merely in so far as they might be used in furthering his own plans, troubling himself little about their rights or origin. The extreme darkness in which the earlier history of our Eed neighbors is involved, renders it next to impossible to penetrate the veil which enshrouds their origin; while it is almost needless to say that all that has been said or written about this certainly interesting subject is based only on conjecture and fiction.
(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)
