Editorial note — Chapter VIII · THE CORDILLERA OF THE ANDES
Reading edition
This is particularly true of Indian children. Writing of them, a Dominican missionary, who had lived among them, and knew them well, expresses himself as follows:—
“Je ne sais rien d’aimable, de gracieux, de docile et d’intelligent comme le jeune Indien”—“I know nothing so amiable, so kindly, so docile and so intelligent as the young Indian.”—Voyage d’Exploration d’ un Missionaire Dominicain chez les Tribus Sauvages de l’Equateur, p. 310, Paris, 1889. ↑
