Note IV-2 — Chapter IV · ANTIQUITIES OF GUATEMALA AND BELIZE.

Stephens' Cent. Amer., vol. ii., pp. 118-24, with two plates. An account made up from Catherwood's notes was, however, inserted in the Guatemalan newspaper El Tiempo by the proprietors of the Quirigua estate, and translated into French in Le Moniteur Parisien, from which it was reprinted in Nouvelles Annales des Voy., 1840, tom. lxxxviii., pp. 376-7; and in Amérique Cent., pt. ii., pp. 68-9, both French and Spanish text is given. The same description is also given in Valois, Mexique, pp. 202-3. Scherzer's pamphlet on the subject bears the title Ein Besuch bei den Ruinen von Quiriguá im Staate Guatemala in Central-Amerika, (Wien, 1855,) and I have not found it quoted elsewhere. Baily's Cent. Amer., pp. 65-6, also contains a brief account from a source not stated, and this is quoted nearly in full in Helps' Span. Conq., vol. ii., pp. 138-9. The ruins are slightly mentioned in Macgregor's Progress of Amer., vol. i., pp. 878-9, and in Baldwin's Anc. Amer., pp. 114-17, where it is incorrectly stated that Mr Stephens personally visited Quirigua. Brasseur de Bourbourg says: 'Nous les avons visitées en 1863, et nous possédons les dessins des plusieurs des monolithes qu'on y voit, faits par M. William Baily, d'Izabal.' Palenqué, introd., p. 22.
