Pottery of Mexico and Peru. 
Pottery of various descriptions has been brought from Mexico; 
it was spoken of with admiration by the Spaniards at the time of 
their conquest. The Peruvian has a distinct character, but ap¬ 
proximates to the Mexican, having the same elumsy and uncouth 
shapes. Yet in some specimens ive find the peculiar Grecian fret 
ornament, copied by the Greeks from the Assyrians. Many of the 
American tribes are said to have carried the art to great perfection; 
There are some who bury their dead in jars large enough to receive 
them.
