And also of the ritche Mines of Potosi.” “This work is, in fact, the foundation of all the subsequent histories of the events to which it refers, and the narrative is given with force and simplicity. The characters of the different heroes are clearly and strongly drawn, and there is a long, distinct chapter on the appearance, conduct, and dispositions of Pizarro and Almagro. The accounts of the execution of Almagro, and of the assassination of Pizarro, are written with much spirit and picturesqueness; and the story of the misfortunes and final death of Atabaliba, the young Peruvian Inca, is very touching. | “This work is printed in two different types, perhaps for speed, and may have been the result of two printers, although the name of Richard Jones only is at the bottom of the title-page.” Four leaves very slightly shaved by the binder. This copy was formerly in the famous Grenville Library, with bookplate inside front cover. Practically the whole of the Grenville collection now forms part of the British Museum library. One of the seven known copies and the only one (besides one) not in a public library. [ 105 |](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b31805978_0111.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
