PREFACE.

The following work has been the most successful of all Gustave Aimardhas published in Paris, and it has run through an unparalleled numberof Editions. This is not surprising, however, when we bear in mind thathe describes in it his personal experiences in the Indian Aztec city,from which no European ever returned prior to him, to tell the tale ofhis adventures. From this volume we learn to regard the Indians from avery different side than the one hitherto taken; for it is evident thatthey are something more than savages, and possess their traditions justas much as any nation of the Old World. At the present moment, whenthe Redskins appear destined to play an important part in the Americanstruggle, I think that such knowledge as our Author is enabled alone togive us about their manners and customs, will be read with interest.
