To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The hand or arm in Nahuatl is via HI, the \\\oss pachtli ; and taking the first sj-llables of these two words we obtain ma pack : the word tcpcc, locative form of fcpcfl, hill or village, is expressed by the usual conventional ideographic or de- terminative sign. In other names, the relative positions of the objects are significant, reminding us of the rebus of a well-known town in Massachusetts, celebrated for its educational institutions : & Mass. Which is to be read, " Andover, Massachusetts...;" so in the Aztec scrolls, we have itzviiquilpan represented by an obsidian knife, itztli, and an edible plant, quiliti, which are placed above or over {pan), the sign for cultivated land, nii/li, thus giving all the elements of the name, the last syllable by position only. Fig. 3. — Itzmiquilpan. In one respect I believe the ikonomatic writing of the Mexicans is peculiar ; that is, in the phonetic value which it assigns to colors. Like the Egyptian, it is polychromatic, but, so far as I know, the Egyptian polychromes never had a phonetic value ; they were, in a general way, used by that people as determinatives, from some supposed similarity of hue; thus green indicates a vegetable substance or bronze.
