Of the Republics of Mexico, Guatemala, Columbia, Peru, the United Provinces of South America and Chile, With a Complete History of the Revolution, in Each of These In That the discovery and colonizing of a new world, several times 'as'large as the continent of Europe, would produce an important change in the commercial and political relations of the maritime powers of that continent, must have been fore seen at the time but that it should have had an important moral influence on the character of mankind, and have been the means of securing their rights, establishing their liberties, and exalting their destinies, no one could havelanticipated. On the contrary, it must have been supposed, that the estab lishment of distant colonies, dependant on the parent state, nursed by its care, protected by its arms, and entirely subject to, its power, would have tended to colonial oppression which by strengthening the power of the sovereign, would re-act upon the parent state, and thus tend to the oppression of both. Whatever may have been the case, with others, this was un doubtedly true of the Spanish Colonies, down to the period of the late revolution; Their degradation and Oppression aliena ted them from the parent country, and prepared their minds to embrace the first opportunity to throw off the yoke of a' dis tant and foreign power, which instead of conducting towards them, like an affectionate mother, treated them with the jealousy, selfishness, and cruelty of an unfe'eling step-dame.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travels in Mexico, South America, Etc, Vol. 1 H was, I well remember, one of the murkiest of November evenings in the year 1851 that the then-gigantic Oronoko passed through the Needles, slackened her speed for a moment to allow the pilot to descend to his boat, and con tinned her course toward the far West, plunging heavily as she encountered the deep-water swell rolling in from the Channel. The attention of every one on deck was soon afterwards directed to the approach of one of her homeward-bound sisters, scarcely discernible, excepting by her lights. For the moment the aggregate roar of winds, waves, steam, canvas, cordage, and com mand seemed to be forgotten, and, in a silence that would make itself be felt, we distinctly heard the words All right given in a clear, ringing voice from her main deck as she came up abreast of us, and then rapidly disappeared in the darkness.

Book excerpt: For a quarter of a century, Tulio Halperín Donghi's Historia Contemporánea de América Latina has been the most influential and widely read general history of Latin America in the Spanish-speaking world.

What emerges is a well-rounded and detailed picture of the forces at work throughout Latin American history. This book will be of great interest to all those seeking a general overview of modern Latin American history, and its distinctive Latin American voice will enhance its significance for all students of Latin American history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of North and South America, Vol. 1 of 2: From Its Discovery to the Death of General Washington To furnish the public with a cheap history of America, from its discovery, to its present state of civilization and importance, is an undertaking of such general utility, that the attempt, if it even fall short of complete execution, has a claim to a considerable share of indulgence. This is more especially the case, when the writer has to follow a historian of such great and just celebrity as Dr. Robertson, in at least one half of the work. To compose such a historical epitome as is desirable, from scattered materials, is a difficulty of such magnitude, as wholly to discourage the attempt; and to abridge the pages of so great an original, where there is nothing superfluous, nothing the reader would wish omitted, is a design, which to many will seem to border on temerity. But this abridgement has been preferred, as it is attended with the least chance of disappointment; and to borrow is not dishonorable, when the obligation is candidly acknowledged. In what relates to South America, Dr. Robertson's history has, therefore, been implicitly followed. His arrangement of the subject, his chronological order, and his very style have been adopted, as the best that can be chosen. To condense his details, to introduce only the most prominent and characteristic events, has been the principal effort, and invariable purpose of the epitomiser: endeavouring as he progressed, to preserve unbroken, the connexion and continuity of events; and in the whole, to present the reader with a brief, but interesting view, of one of the most important æras in the annals of the world.
