Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Mexico, Old and New: A Wonder-Land
Mexico is an ancient land. Its history can be definitely traced to A. D. 640, and traditionally much farther back, perhaps, far beyond the Christian era. My aim has been to see present affairs as they exist, and be led to understand past things as they actually were. The physical, mental, moral, and religious have claimed my attention, and in judging of them, I have endeavored to be fair and just. Mexico, ancient and modem, is a marvelous country.
The illustrations were taken by an accompanying friend, Benj. F. Freeman of Somerville, Mass., who 15 a professional artist and photographer. I know the pictures are true to life.
My object has not been to make this an exhaustive work, but simply sketchy, cheery, instructive, and helpful to mind and heart. As it goes forth on its mission, should it prove to be such, abundant will be the reward of the Author.
