Description

Excerpt from The Works of William Robertson, D.D, Vol. 8 of 12: And Member of the Royal Academy of History at Madrid. To Wmcn U Rnn'xxmn, an Account of His Life and Writings Which they were intrusted might possibly be preserved in the imperial library of Vienna. I communicated this idea to Sir Robert Murray Keith, with whom I have long had the honour to live in friendship, and I had soon the pleasure to learn, that, upon his application, her imperial majesty had been graciously pleased to issue an order, that not only a copy of that letter, if it were found, but of any other papers in the library, which could throw light upon the history of America, should be transmitted to me. The letter from Cortes is not in the imperial library; but an authentic copy, attested by a notary, of the letter written by the magis trates of the colony planted by him at Vera Cruz, which I have mentioned, Vol. II. P. 30, having been found, it was transcribed, and sent to me. As this let ter is no less curious, and as little known, as that which was the object of my enquiries, I have given some ac count, in its proper place, of what is most worthy of notice in it. Together with it, I received a copy of a letter from Cortes, containing a long account of his ex pedition to Honduras, with respect to which I did not think it necessary to enter into any particular detail; and likewise those curious Mexican paintings, which I have described, Vol. II. P. 271. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
