The Gods have fled that country, and now one finds some of them sitting in ghostly quiet in the British Museum.

In a letter, written eighteen months before his death, he says, I pro posed to devote ten years of my life to the study of ancient and modern literature, chie y the latter, and to give ten years more to some historical work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Conquest of Mexico, Vol. 4 In a former page I have mentioned that it was the plan of Cortés, on entering the Valley, to commence operations by reducing the subordinate cities before striking at the capital itself, which, like some goodly tree whose roots had been severed one after another, would be thus left without support against the fury of the tempest. The first point of attack which he selected was the ancient city of Iztapalapan a place contain ing fifty thousand inhabitants, according to his own account, and situated about six leagues distant, on the narrow tongue of land which divides the waters of the great salt lake from those of the fresh. It was the private domain of the last sovereign of Mexico 5 where, as the reader may remember, he entertained the white men the night before their entrance into the capital, and astonished them by the display of his princely gardens. T 0 this monarch they owed no good will, for he had conducted the operations on the maize He was, indeed, no more; but the people of his city entered heartily into his hatred of the strangers, and were now the most loyal vassals of the Mexican crown.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from By Right of Conquest: Or With Cortez in Mexico The conquest of Mexico, an extensive empire with a numerous and warlike population, by a mere handful of Spaniards is one of the romances of history; indeed, a writer of fiction would scarcely have dared to invent so improbable a story. Even the bravery of the Spaniards and the advantage of superior arms would not have sufficed to give them the victory had it not been that Mexico was ripe for disruption. The Aztecs, instead of conciliating by wise and gentle government the peoples they had conquered, treated them with such despotic harshness. That they were ready to ally them selves with the invaders and to join with them heartily against the central power; so that instead of battling against an empire single-handed, the Spaniards had really only to war with a great city, and were assisted by a vast army of auxiliaries.

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.
