Today In The Land Of Tomorrow A Study In The Development Of Mexico PDF Download

Excerpt from Land of Tomorrow: A Study in the Development of Mexico Though some have called Mexico the "land of the manana" (to-morrow), in a half joking way, because of the leisurely habits of her people, the writer had no such thought when christening this little volume. Mexico is full of promise not yet realized, of aspirations only half felt. Great as is her present, the future, the tomorrow, has far greater things in store. We have tried to put in words a few of our impressions of Mexico and of her people. We have not consulted encyclopedias nor histories in preparing what is herein set down. Should the reader wish statistics or mere data of any special kind, he is free to do this. He may be further assisted by the brief bibliography at the close of the book. If a foreigner who had lived in New England some three years, had visited a week in New York and Washington and had seen Chicago, should attempt to generalize on American traits and institutions, he would be somewhat in the position of the present writer. Yet many Europeans have written volumes on a much shorter acquaintance with America and still survive. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
