Excerpt from View of South America and Mexico, Vol. 1 of 2: Comprising Their History, the Political Condition, Geography, Agriculture, Commerce, &C. Of the Republics of Mexico, Guatemala, Columbia, Peru, the United Provinces of South America and Chile, With a Complete History of the Revolution, in Each of These In
To give some account of the revolution of the late Spanish Colonies in South America; a revolution which has terminated so gloriously, and is characterized by so many striking and interesting events, is the object of this work. The author, or compiler, is aware that the time has not yet arrived, for composing a complete history of these events; nor is the United States the place for such a work to be written. It is intended only as a popular sketch or outline, presenting in one view all that is most valuable and interesting in the numerous publications on this subject. The lively interest which the citizens of the United States justly feel in a revolution, having so important an influence on the cause of freedom, and on the destinies of the new world; which has brought into existence six independent nations, on the same continent, some of them their neighbours, seemed to require a work, presenting, in a cheap and popular form, a general and connected view of these important events. We are not aware that any similar work has appeared, although there have been numerous valuable publications, affording much information, concerning certain periods of the revolution. To render a work of this description more complete and valuable, it was thought best to connect with it, a compendium of the history and condition of Spanish America, previous to the revolution, and a geographical and political view of the present condition of the new republics. A knowledge of the geography of the country, and in some measure its early history, is requisite to a correct understanding of the events of the revolution. To facilitate this knowledge, the book is accompanied with two maps, one of Mexico and one of South America, compiled from the latest and best authorities, and believed to be the most correct maps ever published on these countries.
In the compilation, we have consulted and made free use, as we had occasion, of most of the approved works in the English language relating to the subject.
