Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mexico; Its Geography Its People and Its Institutions: With a Map, Containing the Result of the Latest Explorations of Fremont, Wilkes, and Others This book is intended to present a concise view of the Republic of Mexico, in its physical features and moral aspects. Its geography, its agriculture, its mines, its people, its military resources, its government, its church, and its public men, are treated in a manner thought to be the most concise and intelligible. In doing this the author has consulted all the standard authorities on the subject, and selecting therefrom what he has deemed true, has added the same to the knowledge which he himself acquired during his travels in that country. He therefore ventures to say, that no other single work contains so full and so accurate an account of Mexico as this. Of the Map accompanying the work, it should be said that readers may he assured of its general correctness. In regard to those portions of it which relate to the Californias, the author avers it to be the only one in existence which presents anything like a full and accurate idea of the geography of those countries. The author´s own explorations, together with those of the U. S. Exploring Expedition under Captains Wilkes and Fremont, are used in its construction. On the whole, it is hoped that this little book will meet the desire of the public for information relative to the wide-spread and important regions of which it treats. No parts of the earth are so pregnant with great events as these. Inhabited by a race incapable of self-government; whose vices are so numerous and deleterious as to prevent any considerable increase of their numbers; whose union with the Indian and Negro debase the morals and decrease, from generation to generation, the physical and mental powers - Mexico must eventually be peopled and governed by another race. As the Indian and other inferior orders of the human family have ever given place to the Caucasian branch; so must, as a general law, all mixtures of that branch with these, fade before the greater intelligence of its pure blood - so certainly as the stars do before the sun. How interesting then does the fate of Mexicans become; and their country - the theatre of coming acts and scenes of untold influence overman - how important for Americans to know it well.
