Excerpt from Mexico: Past Present FutureAmericans, the author has undertaken to give a brief, simple, connected story of what he considers to be the most important incidents of Mexican history, as well as to dis cuss in a simple, fair, and unbiased manner the habits and customs of the people, together with what he believes to be the livest and most inter esting questions of the hour. He reduces to writing his observations and careful study of these questions after a residence in the country of a number of years; but he feels that he is en tirely unprepared to do justice to the subject. He will be many times repaid if this humble effort should result in some one making a more careful study of this important land.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
