PEEFACE. ilL '7 While an invalid several years ago, and resident of more than one of the ports of the "American Mediterranean," I whiled away many weary hours in coUectmg materials for a far more elaborate work than this, on the history and the revolutions, not only of Mexico, but of the states of the southern continent. With this view I searched several conventual libraries, and found curious documents, which amply recompensed me for the time and labor thus expended. Circumstances which it is now unnecessary to refer to more particularly, had made me almost forget, and for a time entirely neglect this scheme ; when it was suggested to me, thaT for want of some such book as this, the peculiar policy of Mexico and its aen was almost unintelligible. Such was the occasion of this work, in which I have sought to present a fair vie\T of the past condition of the self-named repubHc, and to ( • ."e the origin of that series of events which have made it ' victim of successive revolutions, each of which has left the country in a worse condition than when the tenor of circumstances was interrupted by the preceding convulsion. I once knew a person who had passed the greater part of a long Hfe in the neighborhood of Niagara, without having seen it, and was ultimately induced to visit the great cataract, because a foot-race took place in its immediate vicinity. Similar in many respects seems the neglect by the people of the United States of the history of our neighbors, who have presented to the world as many pure self-sacrificing men as any other nation, at the same time that they have perhaps exhibited in a short period more despicable characters than have disgraced the annals of any other people.
