PAINTINGS. 



feum of Boturini, Thofe of the tributes are the fame 

 with Mendofa*s publiflied by Purchas and Thevenot, but 

 they are better executed, and have the figures of the 

 tributary cities, which are entirely wanting in thofe of 

 Purchas and Thevenot ; but (till fix copies of thofe re- 

 prefenting the tributes are wanting, and there are a 

 thoufand blunders in the interpretations, arifing from to- 

 tal ignorance of antiquity, and the Mexican language. 

 So much is necefifary to be obferved, that they who fee 

 that work publiftied in Mexico, under a refpe^lable name, 

 may not be led into errors.
