Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Spanish Institutions of the Southwest The present work was suggested to the writer while a student at the Johns Hopkins University. There coming in contact with the large amount of work which has been done in the study of Teutonic institutions as represented in England, Germany, and America, it seemed to him that Spanish-American institutions were also worthy of investigation and especially interesting in comparison with Anglo-American institutions as developed in the colonies of the Atlantic coast. A former residence of a number of years in California, where certain forms of the old civilization still remain, served to heighten the writers interest in the subject. Its study has been profitable and interesting to the writer, though carried on during a busy university life. To the latter fact may be attributed, in part, many of the imperfections of the book, which is far removed from the authors ideal. However, it is hoped that this volume will at least awaken a deeper interest in a long neglected part of American history. The Southwest is a comparatively new field for the study of the history of institutions. As it did not figure in our early colonial life and later national development, it cannot claim as great importance in nation-building as other parts of our country. Its contributions to our national life have necessarily been for, during the formative period of our nation the country was long under the rule of foreign powers. There was a great break in the continuity of its colonial life owing to conquest and immigration. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
