Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE THE work of Pedro Sancho is one of the most valuable accounts of the Spanish conquest of Peru that we possess. Nor is its value purely historical. The "Relacion" of Sancho gives much interesting ethnological information relative to the Inca dominion at the time of its demolition. Errors Pedro Sancho has in plenty; but the editor has striven to counteract them by footnotes. In every instance the translator has preserved Pedro Sancho's spelling of proper names, calling attention to the modern equivalent on the first occurrence of each name. In a few instances, where the text was unusually obscure, close translation has not been adhered to. The virtues, as well as the shortcomings of this account, are so obvious that an extended reference to them here is superfluous. It must always be borne in mind that this document partook of the nature of an "apologia pro vita sua" and that it was directly inspired by Pizarro himself with the purpose of restoring himself to the Emperor's favor. Its main purpose was [...].""

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Conquest of Peru, Vol. 3 In a preceding chapter we have seen that when Hernando Pizarro returned to Spain his brother the marquis repaired to Lima, where he continued to occupy himself with building up his infant capi tal and watching over the general interests of the country. While thus employed, he gave little heed to a danger that hourly beset his path, and this, too, in despite of repeated warnings from more circumspect friends.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Conquest of Peru The most brilliant passages in the history of Spanish adventure in the New World are undoubtedly afforded by the conquests of Mexico and Perm - the two states which combined with the largest extent of empire a refined social polity, and considerable progress in the arts of civilisation. Indeed, so prominently do they stand out on the great canvas of history, that the name of the one, notwithstanding the contrast they exhibit in their respective institutions, most naturally suggests that of the other; and, when I sent to Spain to collect materials for an account of the Conquest of Mexico, I included in my researches those relating to the Conquest of Peru. The larger part of the documents, in both cases, was obtained from the same great repository, - the archives of the Royal Academy of History at Madrid; 8 body specially entrusted with the preservation of whatever may serve to illustrate the Spanish colonial annals. The richest portion of its collection is probably that furnished by the papers of Munoz. This eminent scholar, the historiographer of the Indies, employed nearly fifty years of his life in amassing materials for a history of Spanish discovery and conquest in America. For this, as he acted under the authority of the government, every facility was afforded him; and public offices and private depositories, in all the principal cities of the empire, both at home and throughout the wide extent of its colonial possessions, were freely opened to his inspection. The result was a magnificent collection of manuscripts, many of which he patiently transcribed with his own hand. But he did not live to reap the fruits of his persevering industry. The First Volume, relative to the Voyages of Columbus, was scarcely finished when he died: and his manuscripts, at least that portion of them which have reference to Mexico and Peru, Were destined to serve the uses of another, an inhabitant of that New World to which they related.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Francisco Pizarro: The Conquest of Peru Pizarro's father, who was a soldier full of daring, but of very little moral worth, seems to have bequeathed his son nothing but his name and his bold spirit.

This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History of the War of Independence in Greece: Volume Two is the second volume in a two-volume set detailing Greece's struggle for independence. Written by Thomas Keightley, this collection is intended to serve as a detailed account of this important historical event. Volume Two opens in 1822 at Epidaurus, where deputies from various parts of Greece had assembled to write the country's first constitution. While it would still be a decade before Greece was officially recognized as an independent nation, it is this assembly that laid the foundation. From this launching point, Keightley continues on his overview of the major events of the Greek Revolution that he began in Volume One. The sea battles between the Greeks and the Ottomans are well detailed, as these battles were crucial to the success of the Greek uprising. The author also details some of the infighting that threatened to bring the revolution to a premature end. Keightley paints a fairly broad picture of the revolution, however manages to touch on most of the major points. While a notable effort in capturing the history of the Greek Revolution, this book simply did not have the benefit of time on its side. Keightley's book was published in 1830, only two short years after the Greeks had driven the last of the Turks out of the Peloponnese. No history written in the moment will ever be complete, as more evidence has been uncovered some of the facts presented by Keightley have become considered inaccurate. It should also be noted that this republication by Forgotten Books is missing several pages, notably from the table of contents that opens the text. History of the War of Independence in Greece: Volume Two is a fairly straight forward account of the Greek Revolution. While certainly not the definitive text on the subject, it is an interesting read as a historical treatment of an event that was really still unfolding at the time of its writing. This book will likely appeal to students and scholars studying the history of Greece, and anybody who is a keen reader of history texts.

This book was released on 2018-03 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Conquest of Peru by the Spaniards The empire of Peru, when the Spaniards invaded it, possessed an extent of territories so vast as to excite wonder and surprise. It stretched no less than fifteen hundred miles from north to south along the Pacific Ocean. In the infancy of its state these regions shared the fate of the other countries in the New World. Con, verted into numerous and wandering tribes of rude savages, and strangers to the most simple operations of industry, the first in habitants, according to the accounts received, must have been among the most uncivilized people of America. They used to roam in a state of nudity amidst the thickets and impervious woods which covered the land, resembling, in their manner of life, more the members of the brute creation, than rational beings belonging to the human species. They were totally unacquainted with the use of the products of the country farther than the satisfying of present want; nor had they the most remote idea of the principles of right and wrong. The enjoyment of animal life was the boundary of their thoughts, and to procure food the utmost limit of their desires. In this deplorable state, they con tinned for many ages nor did the constant suffering, and extra ordinary deprivation to which they were subjected, ever awaken a thought or excite a wish towards the improvement of their lot.
