Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Coming Mexico Because Mexico had enjoyed peace for a generation under the dictatorship, practically, of that strong man, it was as sumed the other leaders had lost the tendency to seize the power when an opportunity seemed to be given; and the masses had become so convinced that in tranquillity alone lay their true course, as to make it impossible for ambitious leaders, quarrelling amongst themselves, to draw about them the armed forces required to carry out their schemes. In fact, there was no probability of occasion arising to give excuse for civil strife. Should the people depart from the path of peace which Diaz had blazed so clearly for them, it was contended that the United States would intervene and possibly annex Mexico; for the large interests of American and European investors, as well as the safety of foreign residents gener ally, would make it necessary to do something of the sort.

Download or read book Recollections of Mexico Classic Reprint written by Waddy Thompson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of Mexico It is equally true of nations as of individuals, that those who are not entirely assured Of a well-established and unquestioned position, are peculiarly sensitive to criticism, however kindly meant or respectfully expressed. Of no people in the world is this more true than of the Mexicans. They understand perfectly their true position in the estima tion of the world, notwithstanding their characteristic vaunting and gasconade. I think that it is generally true that men are most apt to boast of qualities which they are conscious of not possessing. The Mexican character has much that is good in it, but very much also that is bad. In bearing testimony to the former, I cannot be silent as to the latter - for indiscriminate praise is in its effects censure. My fault has been much more that of extenuation than setting down aught in malice - the latter cum, for I was treated with so much kindness by people of all classes, from the lepero in the streets up to the President, that it would be a source of deep pain to me to know that I had wantonly wounded the feelings of any one person in the broad circumference of the Republic. I assure them in all sincerity that I take a deep interest in their continued advances in the great career Of civil liberty, and 'their ultimate success in establishing Repub lican institutions on a permanent basis. God grant them success, both on their own account as well as for the great cause in which they have so long struggled, and under circumstances so discouraging.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Trip to the City of Mexico It has often been suggested to me to give in print some account of the Mexican Central Excursion. Feeling that this was a grand opportunity for a skilful pen upon an interesting subject, and that the requisite talent for the purpose was not lacking in our party, I was reluctant to undertake the work, until sufficient time had elapsed to satisfy me, at least, that unless I took it upon myself it might remain unwritten, and forever lost, except to the memory of a few of those who, like myself, participated in it. This story, which must of necessity be in the form of a diary of events, is made up largely from private memoranda which were made day after day, with the sole object of refreshing the memory, when relating an account of the journey upon my return home.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mexico in Revolution The various articles in this volume were written, on my return from Mexico, for the New Fork Times, the Chicago Tribune and other important newspapers in the United States. When I began my articles, the revolution which finally overthrew Carranza had not yet triumphed and "the old man" was is still alive. Events moved rapidly while the articles were coming out. Carranza was assassinated and Obregon, with the militarist party, came into power. Works of the moment, these articles record my various impressions of the days during which they were written. They do not, in consequence, show the unity and homogeneity of a book written after the fact on events already complete in themselves and easily appreciable to the person observing them in perspective and as a whole. I might, of course, have remodeled these articles and reduced them to chapter form. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mexican Problems The recent triumph of the Liberal or Popular Party in Mexico, after almost 4 years of struggle, presents a unique opportunity for the carrying of certain economic changes which will destroy forever the dangerous political power of those egotistical groups composed of big landowners, who up to now have maintained the working classes in a state of slavery and ignorance. It is only recently that the conspiracy of si lence in regard to the monopoly of the land, - the censurable policy of Porfirio Diaz and; of Huerta - was broken; and as there are still many educated people in the Mexican Federation who are not acquainted with the facts in the case, 1 shall dedicate this chapter to the his tory of the land.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of Mexico Of the Mexican people, with their progress, their genius, and their aspirations, with their possibilities and prospects. Of books on Mexico published in English during the present generation the most were written by hasty travelers or conventional compilers, whose views and portraitures are inevitably immature, partial, or exaggerated. Their more important and characteristic qualities, gifts, and aims, lie too deeply in the nature of the Mexican people to be clearly discerned and duly appreciated by the passing tour ist or the nonresident compiler. The richest treas ures Of information, too, regarding their traditions and history, their struggles, conflicts, and achieve ments, are tomes in Spanish, Italian, or other lan guages not Often either accessible or intelligible to such writers.

Download or read book The Civilization of Ancient Mexico Classic Reprint written by Lewis Spence and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Civilization of Ancient Mexico Since the time of Prescott no attempt appears to have been made to collate and present within reasonable compass for popular consumption the vast amount of matter, ancient and modern, relating to the history of the Mexican people. The author does not claim to have done this. Others have attempted it, but have usually presented it with their considerations upon other American civilizations. The purpose of this book is to provide not only a merely popular history of Ancient Mexico, but such a sketch of the subject as will appeal to serious students who may Wish to adopt the study of Mexican antiquities. In its scope nothing has been included which is not strictly verifiable from original sources. Speculation has not been altogether abandoned, but has been omitted except in those instances where reasons of special import called for it. At the same time whilst doubtful matter has been almost ruth lessly eliminated, such traditions as appeared to possess any substratum of fact and value from their bearing upon Mexican history, have not been altogether ignored, but have been included in the chapter upon the history of the Nahuan peoples, care being taken to draw particular attention to their legendary origin.

Download or read book The Conquest of Mexico Classic Reprint written by William Hickling Prescott and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-17 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Conquest of Mexico After a Short stay in England he returned to Boston, and desired, in spite of his failing sight, to lead a life of literary occupation. It may seem strange that one, who in his college days had only the ambition of learning as much literature as a gentleman ought to know, and who had never been able to accustom himself to habits Of industry, should now consecrate his energies to literary pursuits but the last six years of his life had been years of stem discipline, and during the long days spent in the dark room, graver thoughts and a nobler ambition had filled his mind. The difficulties before him were great. His classical studies, it is true, had never been neglected, but his deficiencies in modern literature were considerable. Of English he had had as much perhaps read to him as most people Of his age had read to themselves. Of French literature he knew nothing; and of Spanish and Italian he had merely a schoolboy's knowledge. Moreover, he had constantly to fight against a tendency to waste his time, while the necessity of forming fixed habits of work was a task of no little difficulty. He determined to begin from the very elements, and, wisely too, to begin with English. He studied as if he were a schoolboy, beginning with Lindley Murray's grammar, and Johnson's dictionary, and then reading carefully the best authors, from Ascham and Bacon to those of his own time. Thus a year passed Then, hav1ng finished this course, he turned to French literature, going, as he says, deeper and wider than he had done in English. Italian came next, and then Spanish. German, however, he was compelled, owing to his weak sight, to abandon. He now felt competent to begin the real task of writing a history, and searched for a subject. After some hesitation he decided on a history of the times of Ferdinand and Isabella. To enable him to attempt the work, a secretary, Mr. English, was engaged to read to him for five or Six hours every day. Prescott was in no hurry. For the next three and a half years he was Collecting materials, and then only commenced the actual composition so that it was not till the year 1837 (or thirteen years after the time at which he decided on his subject) that Ferdinand and Isabella was fairly delivered to the world.
