of the Aztecs. That such usages should have existed with the degree of refinement they showed in other things is almost inconceivable. It can only be ex plained as the result of religious superstition; super stition which clouds the moral perception, and perverts even the natural senses, till man, civilized man, is rec onciled to the very things which are most revolting to humanity. Habits and opinions founded on religion must not be taken as conclusive ev...idence of the actual refinement of a people.
