A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The journey and excursions in Mexico which have originated the narrative and remarks contained in this vohime vrere made in the months of March, A pril, May, and June of 1856, for the most part on horsehacli. The author and his fellow-traveller enjoyed many advantageous opportunities of studjdng the country, the people, and the antiquities of Mexico, owing to the friendly assistance and hospitality which they received there. With this aid they were enabled to accomplish much more than usually falls to the lot of travellers in so limited a period ;and they had the great advantage too, of being able to substantiate or correct their own observations by the local knowledge and experience of their friends and entertainers. Visiting Mexico during a kdl in the civil turmoil of that lamentably disturbed Republic, they were fortunate in being able to avail themselves of that peaceable season in making excursions to remarkable places and ruins, and examining the national collection of antiquities, and other objects of interest, an opportunity that cannot have occurred since owing to the recommencement of civil war in its worst form. The following are some of the chief points of interest in these Notes on Mexico, which are either new or treated more fully than hitherto: 1. The evidence of an immense ancient population, shewn by the abundance of remains of works of art (treated of at pages 14G 150), is fully stated here. 2. The notices and drawings of Obsidian knives and weapons (at page 95, c., and in the A ppendix) are more ample than any previously given. 3. The treatment of the Mexican Niunerals (at page 108) is partly new.
