To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Zumpongo, which is the most northern, is 29,-Vo'o inches higher than the surface of Tezcuco ; while that of Chalco, at the southern ex- tremity, is only 3yVA ^^^t more elevated then the Great Square of Mexico."'^ '■ See Stealey's Maps of the Roads from Vera Cruz to Mexico.
' Humboldt's New Spain.
SITUATION OF THE CITY. 233 In consequence of this peculiarity, the city has, for a long series of ages, been exposed to inundations. Five immense floods have occurred since the Spanish inva- sion. Imme...nse works have been constructed at dif- ferent times to avoid this danger. One of these is the great cut, planned by Enrico Martinez, which connects the Rio de Suautillon with the Rio Tula, and thus carries off the lake of Zumpongo.^ Around the same lake are stone dikes. In the south, dikes and sluices have been formed round Lakes Chalco and Xochimilco, by which they are prevented from overflowing. By means like these, the city of Mexico is prevented from inundation, and is no longer, as it seems to have been in the time of Cortez, an island in a lake.
