Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Aztec God, and Other Dramas The scene of this drama is laid in Mexico near the opening of the Fifteenth Century, just when the Aztecs were beginning to overrun the country, and when, therefore, the peculiar forms of their religion may reasonably be supposed to have been comparatively unknown to the Tezcucans who, as will be shown presently, adhered, in the main, to the more mild religious observances of the ancient Toltecs. The facts with reference to the Aztec human sacrifices, the selection for these of a captive without blemish, the allotment to him of certain maidens as wives, and the general luxury and adoration with which he was surrounded up to the time when, surrendering the flowers that crowned his head and the lyre that he carried, he ascended the pyramid to have his heart torn out of him while still alive, - all these facts are sufficiently well known to substantiate the delineations of the drama. The exact religious conception which underlay these Aztec rites is not known. In the circumstances, it has been thought justifiable to surround them with a certain atmosphere of spiritual truth - though only in twilight - similar to that which is known to have formed the setting of the pagan worship of ancient Egypt and Greece.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gods of Mexico Although political and financial conditions in Mexico frequently arouse a passing agitation in the minds of British people, the antiquities of that extraordinary land. Various as Greece and mysterious as Egypt, have failed to appeal to them with the same degree of interest. We have not yet, perhaps, quite recovered from the amazement with which in our own day we have seen the secret gates of the East unlocked and the prodigies of Mesopotamia and the endless dynasties of the Nile emerge therefrom. Yet an archaeology less venerable, but no less notable, pleads with us for recogni tion from a continent so closely associated with the spirit of modernity that we can scarcely believe in its ability to present us with the credentials of respectable antiquity. American scientists, however, have in recent years successfully addressed themselves to the problems of Isthmian research, and the antiquaries of Germany and France have, in certain respects, even improved upon their endeavours. Great Britain alone remains insensible to the lure of old Mexico, and small indeed is the band of workers that she has given to this department of archaeology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fair God, Vol. 1 of 2: A Tale of the Conquest of Mexico In collecting and using this material, Mr. Pape set himself the further task of such researches in the ancient civilization as should make his designs truthful representations of the arts, the implements, and the manners and customs of the Aztecs. In the text decorations he has shown examples of the art of the various tribes of Mex ico and Central America who inhabited those countries centuries before the Aztecs became the rulers of ancient Anahuac. These facts are stated for the assurance of the reader, who will not need to be told of the pieto rial skill which has gone to the making of the designs, but who may be glad to know that he is in the hands of a conscientious student of his subject, drawing his inspiration not only from the book he illustrates, but, like the author of the book, from the country and people imaginatively reproduced.
