The Mayas, the Sources of Their History: Dr. Le Plongeon in Yucatan, His Account of Discoveries (Classic Reprint)

Proceedings of American A ntiquarlaa Society, A pril 26,1876. The most comprehensive and accurate map of Yucatan is that which has been copied for this pamplilet. In the several volumes of travel, descriptive of Maya ruins, are to be found plans more or less complete, intended to illustrate special journeys, but they are only partial in their treatment of this interesting country. The Piano de Yucatan, herewith presented the work of Sr. Dn. Santiago Nigra de San Martin was published in 1848, and has now become extremely rare. It is valuable to the student, for it designates localities abounding in ruins those not yet critically explored, as well as those which have been more thoroughly investigated by a peculiar mark, thus ,and it also shows roads and paths used in transportation and communication. Since its publication political changes have caused the division of the Peninsula into the States of Yucatan and Campeachy, which change of boundaries has called for the preparation of a new and improved map. Such an one is now being engraved at Paris and will soon be issued in this country. It is the joint production of Sr. Dn. Joaquin Hubbe and Sr. Dn. Andres A znar P6rez, revised by Dr. C. Hermann Berendt.
