As the Queen spoke, and 'ever looking on the Governor,' she slowly drew from its place a string of pearls as large as filberts, and which went three times round her neck and hung down to her knee. Then, with the necklace in her hand, she turned to Juan Herrera, dec. vii., lib. vii., p. 176. Ortiz, and, giving it to him, told him to take it and to give it to the Governor. Ortiz, who, though he had passed ten years of his life with Indians in the wilds, had not forgotten that he was a gentleman, told her that Soto would esteem it more from her than from another hand. The 'Indian lady' said that she did not dare, for that she feared to outstep modesty, and Soto, guessing what she said, stepped out and took it from her hand. Then, drawing off a ring set with a ruby, he gave it to the Queen, who instantly placed it upon her finger 'as a sign of peace.' She then retired, leaving the Spaniards 'muy satisfechos y enamorados ' both with her beauty and discretion, so much so that no one asked her name, but all men spoke of her but as 'the Indian Queen.' Of all the provinces which Soto had yet seen, Cofachiqui was by far the richest and most fertile. The soil was fruitful and well cultivated, the woods afforded fruit, pearls were abundant, and the furs the Indians had would have been riches in themselves. But, most unfortunately, the natives had some gold, and this they said came from the west; so Soto, who, like the rest of the conquistadores thought gold was the sole source of wealth, determined to push on. The mother of the 'Indian Queen,'f eithe...

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Aurora La Cujini: A Realistic Sketch in SevilleNotable things have passed in Seville since Ojeda, before he sailed for the new-found Indies, ran along the beam fixed at a giddy height in the Giralda and threw a tennis-ball over the weather-vane, to show the Catholic Kings and the assembled crowd,the firmness of his head. Since San Fernando drove out the royal house of the beni-abbad, and Motamid, the poet king, took refuge in Mequinez, as Abd-el Wahed chronicles in his veracious history of the times, much has occurred. In the Alcazar, Pedro el Justiciero had loved Maria Padilla; in it he had made the fishpond where the degenerate Charles the Second sat fishing whilst his empire slipped out of his hands. The Caloro from Hind, Multan, or from whatever trans-caucasian or cis-himalayan province they set out from, ages ago, had come, and spreading over Spain, fixed themselves firmly in the part of Seville called the Triana, after the Emperor Trajan, who was born there as some say, and where to-day they chatter Romany, deal in horses, tell fortunes, and behave as if the entire world was a great oyster to be Opened by their wheedling tongues.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Writ in SandPrefaces are written usually either to disarm the public, or to give a foretaste of the writer's quality. They fail, generally, in both their objects. Your preface-monger is constrained perforce to give himself away, for he speaks as man to man, not through the mouth of any of his characters.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
