The highest authority on Peruvian history.—The Critic.
Mr. Markham has done his work well, and with ardent love for his subject. The country is a favorite one with him, and has furnished him with matter for three monographs before the present history. In a necessarily limited space he has given the leading facts, and taken a comprehensive view from the earliest time, down almost to the current year. Not the least interesting portions are the brief but strongly individual sketches of some of the remarkable men who have figured in the annals of Peru. In a few virile paragraphs he presents the more famous generals, viceroys, presidents and patriots. The book is well equipped with maps, abounds with pictures, and has an appendix rich in its statistics and important documents.—The Literary World.
Mr. Markham is thoroughly at home with his subject. He possesses a strong, graphic style eminently suited to it, and the amount of information that he has managed to crowd into the space at his disposal is simply marvelous.—New Orleans Picayune.
