ACCOUNT OF BOOKS.

The second volume is appropri- 

 ated to Spanish America, and dis- 

 cusses the manner, and treatment 

 customs, &c. of the Indians, both 

 native and civilized ; including 

 sketches of its climate, animal and 

 vegetable kingdoms, population, 

 and trade. It is also terminated 

 by a pretty extensive Appendix, 

 relative to the commercial and 

 political state of the countries 

 described in the body of this work. 



The account of Mexico, which is 

 very interesting, will be found in 

 another part of our volume.* 



Although the present volumes 

 are confessedly imperfect, and exe- 

 cuted with precipitancy, they con- 

 tain some information which may 

 be useful both to the merchant 

 and to the politician, in the pre- 

 sent state of our intercourse 

 with the Spanish Colonies in Ame- 

 rica.
