Note 10 — Chapter II · HISTORIC.
Reading edition
Castenada’s Narrative covered 147 MS. pages, written on paper in characters of the times, and rolled in parchment. It was preserved in the collection of D’Uguina, Paris, was translated and published in French by H. T. Campans, in 1838, and now lies before me. It is wholly free from the vice of the commonplace, being tinged with the warm glow which precedes the morning light of history. Wild as the Homeric legends, it serves like them to point the way.
