TO THE 



THIRD EDITION. 



Since the publication of the Second 

 Edition of this work, circumstances have 

 occurred to give an increased degree of in- 

 terest to the affairs of Mexico. Iturbidd, 

 the Ex-Emperor, after a short residence 

 in this country, suddenly determined to re- 

 turn, leaving behind him for publication a 

 Memoir explanatory of his political career. 

 In consideration of the material influence 

 which the nature of this leader^s intentions 

 may have on the fate of that country, it has 

 been thought right to add to the account 

 of the Mexican Revolution, some details 

 which throw light on his character.
