Contemporary with these writers was Mendoza, already mentioned. The honor of being the first historian of the country, however, belongs to Mariana (1536-1623), a fouudhng who was educated a Jesuit. His main occupation for the last thirty or forty years of his life was his great " History of Spain. " There is an air of good faith in his accounts and a vividness in his details which are singularly attractive. If not in all respects the most trustworthy of annals, it is at least the most remarkabl...e union of picturesque chronicling with sober history that the world has ever seen. Sandoval (d. 1621) took up the history of Spain where Mariana left it, but while his is a work of authority, it is unattractive in style. " The General History of the Indies, " by Herrera, is a work of great value, and the one on which the reputation of the author as a historian chiefly rests. One of the most pleasing of the minor Spanish histories is Argensola's account of the Moluccas. It is full of tlie traditions found among the natives by the Portuguese when they first landed there, and of the wild adventures that followed when they had taken possession of the island.
