Excerpt from Marian Rooke, or the Quest for Fortune: A Tale of the Younger World
The same irresistible lure which wrought the fall of Monte zuma and the Ineas, - the sad possession which plunged Mexico and Peru into a sea of troubles, whence they have never alto gether emerged, - has prematurely developed and populated these occidental wilds which, by a natural process, and makin allowance for a prodigious immigration, would otherwise have remained virgin for another half century.
