To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In case of prolonged absence and great peril the mother and the children did penance by cutting themselves with flints. The art of doing this properly was one of the lessons taught in Aztec public schools. The children were trained to believe that the sight of blood pleased the cruel deities who were supposed to preside over the commerce of their country. Scarcely did a child open its eyes on this world when religious ceremonies for its benefit began. An astrologer was called in to decide wheth...er or not it was born under a lucky star. This question was not raised, however, about the children born during the last five days of the year : these were always accounted as unlucky, and the little un- fortunate who then entered on life was dubbed from the outset "useless man" or "useless woman, " as the case might be, and neither his own good sense nor the good management of the parents could save the youngster from a double share of this world's troubles. When the little one was two or three days old, it was carried out of doors by an orderly procession of its friends and laid on a heap of freshly-cut grass.
