Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Mexico and the Mexicans: Or Notes of Travel in the Winter and Spring
Not less fascinating was his description of the gorgeous hues of the ?owers, the splendid coloring of the butter?ies, and the brilliant plumage of the birds all of which seemed like pictures of fairy-land.
Nor have I forgotten the testimony which he bore to the high courtesy with which he was everywhere received and treated, in social, as well as in official circles.
Now that the bonds of friendship and alli ance between our own country and our sister Republic are about to be drawn so much closer; now that a new, auspicious, and even brilliant era is about to dawn upon the Land of the Aztecs, I made up my mind, in the month of January last, to see Mexico with my own eyes.
