THE AZTECS. Their History, Manners, and Customs. From the French of
Lucien Biart. Authorized translation by J. L. Garner.
Illustrated, 8vo, 340 pages, price, $2.00.
The author has travelled through the country of whose former glories
his book is a recital, and his studies and discoveries leaven the book
throughout. The volume is absorbingly interesting, and is as attractive
in style as it is in material.--_Saturday Evening Gazette, Boston._
Nowhere has this subject been more fully and intelligently treated than
in this volume, now placed within reach of American readers. The
mythology of the Aztecs receives special attention, and all that is
known of their lives, their hopes, their fears, and aspirations finds
record here.--_The Tribune, Chicago._
The man who can rise from the study of Lucien Biart's invaluable work,
"The Aztecs," without feelings of amazement and admiration for the
history and the government, and for the arts cultivated by these Romans
of the New World is not to be envied.--_The Advance, Chicago._
The twilight origin of the present race is graphically presented: those
strange people whose traces have almost vanished from off the face of
the earth again live before us. Their taxes and tributes, their
marriage ceremonies, their burial customs, laws, medicines, food,
poetry, and dances are described.... The book is a very interesting
one, and is brought out with copious illustrations.--_The Traveller,
Boston._
M. Biart is the most competent authority living on the subject of the
Aztecs. He spent many years in Mexico, studied his subject carefully
through all means of information, and wrote his book from the
view-point of a scientist. His style is very attractive, and it has
been very successfully translated. The general reader, as well as all
scholars, will be much taken with the work.--_Chronicle Telegraph,
Pittsburg._
