Mexico -- History
351-7. Prescott’s account, _Mex._, i.
224-9, is meagre and imperfect, though his deductions are
much more sound than those of Robertson’s _Hist. Am._, i.
240-3. One of the most superficial of the modern narratives
of this expedition is given by Zamacois, _Hist. Méj._,
ii. 236-52. Those by Morelet, _Voy. dans l’Am. Cent._, i.
179-85, and Fancourt’s _Hist. Yuc._, 9-18, are valuable. A
collection of extracts from several letters to Charles V.,
referring to Yucatan, and forming ‘an account of a recently
discovered island, describing its locality, the customs
and habits of its inhabitants,’ was printed at Nuremberg,
by Frederick Peypus, in 1520, under title beginning _Ein
auszug ettlicher sendbrieff dem aller durchleüchtigisten_.
Carbajal Espinosa, _Hist. Mex._, i. 51-65, ii. 21, and
Ramirez, in his Mexican edition of Prescott, i. 132 and 135,
beside narratives, give portraits of Velazquez, Córdoba, and
Grijalva. _Sahagun_, _Hist. Conq._, 9-13, and _Brasseur de
Bourbourg_, _Hist. Nat. Civ._, iv. 27-50, are most valuable
from an aboriginal stand-point. Alaman, in his _Disert._,
i. 49-91, treats of both Córdoba’s and Grijalva’s voyages.
Among the many allusions to these two expeditions of no
special significance are those found in _Ogilby’s Am._, 76-8;
_Purchas, His Pilgrimes_, v. 858; _Oveido_, _Sommario_,
in _Ramusio_, _Viaggi_, iii. 182-9; _Soc. Mex. Geog._,
