Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Brief Bibliography of Books in English, Spanish and Portuguese, Relating to the Republics Commonly Called Latin American: With Comments
The method pursued in making up the list was as fol lows: first, to introduce the titles of widely heralded works, without regard to their merit, in order to discriminate be tween them; and, second, to bring forward less well known publications so as to draw attention to their excellencies. To have listed only such as could be commended would have failed to furnish that perspective which is essential to giving prominence to works of real merit.
If it should occur to any that some of the comments are slightly censorious, what follows is offered as an explana tion and an excuse.
