Note 10 — LETTERS ON THE MORAL AND RELIGIOUS STATE OF SOUTH AMERICA. (continued 5)

This communication, bearing upon the subject of education in Spanish America, will be added at the close of this letter. When this communication is considered as the production of a native of that country, a gentleman intimately acquainted with its concerns, and actually holding a high official situation under the Government of the most populous of these new states, it may tend to confirm the favourable accounts from that quarter of the world contained in the preceding letters.

The enlightened and liberal mind of Mr. Rocafuerte, and his truly zealous endeavours to raise his country high in political wisdom, in literature, in morality, and in pure religion, are truly praiseworthy.
