Memorias Antiguas Historiales Y Politicas Del Peru PDF Download

Excerpt from Memorias Antiguas Historiales Del Peru When this volume was on the point of being printed off, Mr. T. A. Joyce, of the British Museum, discovered among the literary papers of the late Sir Clements Markham a translation of the same work, ready, with Introduction, for the press. With characteristic abnegation and modesty Sir Clements had put on one side his own labours whilst recommending the Council of the Hakluyt Society to issue the translation of a younger man. On this being communicated to Mr. Means he eagerly embraced the idea of having Sir Clements' Introduction placed before his own, and this has been done. On pp. Xlviii-li is given a list of words in the names of Kings and Incas in Montesinos, and on p. Lii a list of Quichua words, both compiled by Sir Clements Markham. The consequent delay in the issue of the volume has, it is hoped, been amply compensated for by the additions.
