Reading edition

Vues, i. 96 pl. iii., or pl. vii., viii. in folio ed.; Essai polit., 239. The later observers are: Dupaix (Antiq. Mex., and in Kingsborough, v. 218; with iv. pl. viii.). Bancroft remarks on the totally different aspects of Castañeda’s two drawings. Nebel, in his Viaje pintoresco y Arqueolójico sobre la república Mejicana, 1829-34 (Paris, 1839, folio), gave a description and a large colored drawing. Of the other visitors whose accounts add something to our knowledge, Bancroft (iv. 471) notes the following: J. R. Poinsett, Notes on Mexico (London, 1825). W. H. Bullock, Six Months in Mexico (Lond., 1825). H. G. Ward, Mexico in 1827 (Lond., 1828). Mark Beaufoy, Mex. Illustrations (Lond., 1828), with cuts. Charles Jos. Latrobe, Rambles in Mexico (Lond., 1836). Brantz Mayer, Mexico as it was (N. Y., 1854); Mexico, Aztec, etc. (Hartford, 1853); and in Schoolcraft, Ind. Tribes, vi. 582. Waddy Thompson, Recoll. of Mexico (N. Y., 1847). E. B. Tylor, Anahuac (Lond., 1861), p. 274. A. S. Evans, Our Sister Republic (Hartford, 1870). Summaries later than Bancroft’s will be found in Short, p. 369, and Nadaillac, p. 350. Bancroft adds (iv. 471-2) a long list of second-hand describers.
