Riassunto

Excerpt from Viage a Mejico

Respecto de los estudios morales, que hasta la fecha se han escrito sobre el carácter, las costumbres y los usos de los Mejicanos, 'casi siempre han pecado de falsos han sido mal presentados; así es que cuando el viagero no se ha dejado llevar de su propio sentimiento de par cialidad, se ha guiado en sus observaciones y en sus re ñexiones por informes y datos faltos de exactitud.
