Synopsis
Excerpt from The History of North and South America, From Its Discovery to the Death of General Washington, Vol. 1 of 2
To compose such a historical epitome scattered materials, is a difficulty of such to discourage the attempt; and to abridge an original, where there is nothing super uous, nothing the reader would wish omitted, is a design, which to many will seem to border on temerity. But this abridgement has been preferred, as it is attended with the least chance of disappoint ment; and to borrow is not dishonorable, when the obligation is candidly acknowledged.
In what relates to South America, dr. Robertson's history has, therefore, been implicitly followed. His arrangement of the subject, his chronological order, and his very style have been adopted, as the best that can be chosen. To condense his details, to introduce only the most prominent and characteristic events, has been the principal effort, and invariable purpose of the epitomiser: endeavouring as he progressed, to preserve nu broken, the connexion and continuity of events; and in the A? Whole, to present the reader with a brief, but interesting view, of one of the most important aras in the annals of the world.
