Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Eclectic Magazine of Foreign Literature, Science, and Art: January to April, 1851
Ma. Trcxuoa's work offers another proof of the creditable desire felt by one great sec tion, at least, of America to discharge the debt due to Spain, her first discoverer. While the southern or Spanish States, in spite of more and stricter obligations, have folded their arms in indolent ingratitude, the northern and anglo-saxon portions, true to their race, have b n up and doing. From the Black Prince ownward, E land has been foremost with her best bl and brain to uphold her ally's independence in war, and to illustrate her marvels in peace; and the English sword has long been wreathed in Spanish myrtle. Neither have our transat lantic kinsmen degenerated - the names of Irving and Prescott are already associated with Columbus and Isabella; nor will Tick nor henceforward be forgotten where Cer vantes and his compeers are held in remem brance.
