[3] _History_, i, p. 161. [4] The Spanish editor accounts for Mr. Prescott’s mistake by supposing that the person employed to copy the manuscript had written _por_ (by) instead of _para_ (for). But this is not so, as Mr. Prescott himself quotes the word _para_ (i, p. 161). The Spanish editor refers to a life of Sarmiento in the _Historia del Colejio Viejo de San Bartolomé Mayor de la celebre Universidad de Salamanca_, 2d edicion, Primera Parte, p. 336.

[12] This was the edition used by Prescott; and by me in translating the First Part for the Hakluyt Society. [13] Don M. J. de la Espada says of the Hakluyt Society’s volume:--“Edicion muy bella. Bien anotada en la parte geográfica y de historia natural, en la historica y biografica con los comentarios de Garcilasso y las decadas de Herrera.” [14] _Biblioteca Hispano-Ultramarina._ Tercero libro de las Guerras Civiles del Peru, el cual se llama la Guerra de Quito, hecho por Pedro de Cieza de Leon, Coronista de las cosas de las Indias.

The author died without having covered any portion of the magnificent ground plan which he had confidently laid out.”--_Conquest of Peru_, ii. p. 298. [16] So says Fray Buenaventura de Salinas y Cordova, in his _Memorial de las Historias dal Nuevo Mundo Piru_ (Lima 1630), but without giving any authority. [17] Herrera gives Llerena as the birthplace of Cieza de Leon (Dec. vi, lib. vi, cap. 4; and Dec. vii, lib. ix, cap. 19). In the latter of these two passages, in the first edition, the word is printed _Erena_, an error which is repeated in the editions of Antwerp and of Gonzalez Barcia. Piedrahita (lib. iv, cap. 2) repeats that Cieza de Leon was a native of Llerena. The town of Llerena is nineteen leagues east of Badajos, at the foot of the Sierra de San Miguel. It was taken from the Saracens in 1241; and in 1340 Alfonso XI assembled the Cortes at Llerena. Besides Cieza, it produced the Holguins, and Juan de Pozo, the watchmaker who placed the _giralda_ on the tower of Seville. [18] See my Translation, p. 335.
