History of the Conquest of Mexico: With a Preliminary View of the Ancient Mexican Civilization, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)

As the Conquest of Mexico has occupied tht; pens of Solis and of Robertson, two of tho ablest historians of their respective nations, it might seem that little could remain at the present day to be gleaned by the historical inquirer. But. Robertson snarrative is necessarily brief, forming only part of a more extended work; and neither theB ritish, nor the Castiiian author, was provided with the important materials for relating this event, which have been since assembled by the industry of Spanish scholars. The scholar who led the way in these researches was Don Juan Baptlsta Munoz, the celebrated historiographer of the ladies, who, by a roya. edict, was allowed free access to the national archives, and to all hbraries, public, private, and monastic, in the kingdom and its colonies.
