Books of travel from Humboldt's down, with maps, geographical treatises and mili- tary reports — particularly those of the American engineers, many of which are still in manuscript at the Engineer's Office, War Department, Washington — give an excellent if not ade- quate view of the physical features of the country; and his- tories, biographies and books of travel, supplemented with the American, British, French and Spanish reports, our mili- tary accounts of the occupation and incidental point...s in other material, present an abundance of data out of which, if one be propc ly grounded to interpret them, the necessary social atmosphere can be manufactured. With books go pamphlets, which were far more important in Mexico than among us, and contained military and political facts and views not elsewhere to be discovered.
