Mexico as I Saw It
By MRS. ALEC TWEEDIE
(_née_ HARLEY)
=Morning Post.=—“In her new volume, Mrs. Alec Tweedie has chosen
fresh subjects for her bright descriptive powers. Of the glorious
amphitheatre she writes like a true artist. The public will, we
believe, heartily welcome this fascinating work, which contributes to
our knowledge of one of the greatest men of the day, and supplies at
the same time the most agreeable reading.”
=Punch.=—“She ‘saw it’ under exceedingly favourable circumstances.
Armed with an introduction to the President she was welcomed with more
than Mexican warmth.... A born traveller, ready when occasion compelled
to put up with hardships and short commons, Mrs. Alec Tweedie took
cheerfully to the private cars provided for her in the railways, to the
semi-official banquets, and to life in palaces. She travelled all over
Mexico with her eyes, as usual, wide open.”
