DEDICATION.
TO
ANDRES AVELINO CACERES
(_General of Brigade in the Peruvian Army_),
And to his gallant companions in arms, now heroically defending their
native country against fearful odds, I dedicate this edition of the
narrative of that scholarly soldier, Pedro de Cieza de Leon, who warmly
sympathised with the people of the land of the Yncas, advocated their
cause, and denounced their wrongs.
