APPENDIX. 



I am very sensible that I may have been led into errors of fact, 

 or inference. In that case, I can plead honesty of intention and 

 the difficulty of collecting at a single point, and within a limited 

 time, correct information; or of analyzing that which was collect- 

 ed, respecting a people in a state of revolution who are spread 

 over an immense country, and whose habits, institutions, and lan- 

 guage are so different from our own. 



I have only to add that we were politely received by the su- 

 preme director, who made every profession for our government, 

 and every offer of accommodation to us, as its agents, which we 

 had a right to expect; and that thepeople manifested on all occa- 

 sions the most friendly dispositions.
