Originally published in 1890. PREFACE The history of Mexico subsequent to theconquest by the Spaniards early in the sixteenth century is scarcely knownoutside of that country. General histories pass over the three centuries ofSpanish rule the long struggle for independence the establishment of a shortlived empire followed by a nominal republic and the rise and fall of a secondempire as subjects of but little interest and without giving very accurateinformation regarding them.....
