Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Account of Paraguay: Its History, Its People, and Its Government Many articles have been published in the Journals and Reviews during the eight months which have elapsed since the attention of Europe was called to the war in the countries of La Plata. The only truth -which has been eliminated in these discussions is, that the French are completely ignorant of the history of the American Continent. With sorrowful surprise, I have observed journals, sincerely democratic, lauding the Institutions of Paraguay, -without being conscious for a moment that they were, in fact, eulogising despotism. It has appeared to me that at the present time a brief account of the States of the Plate would be of some interest. I commence with Paraguay. The reader will not here find a perfect history, but a few simple notes, collected from the most authentic sources. Solely actuated by a desire to be exact, I have accumulated extracts from the narratives of travellers who have visited and studied those countries. I have endeavoured, above all, to discover the causes which have stifled in a people the very sentiment of liberty, and have felt constrained to ascribe the phenomenon to the fatal influence which the establishment of the Jesuits in Paraguay exercised on this unhappy nation.
