Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lives of Hernando Cortes, the Discoverer of Mexico, and Francisco Pizarro, the Conqueror of Peru Is this true, is a question often asked by a child, after reading a story. Perhaps it is well, sometimes, to be able to answer this question in-the affirmative. If it is possible to relate the history of remarkable persons in such a manner as to interest the young, such stories may create a better taste in reading than that which is formed by the constant perusal of fic tion, which is now employed not only in works intended for relaxation and amusement, but as a vehicle to inculcate the deepest principles of philosophy and religion. This volume is in tended as a part of a series of the lives of distinguished persons, adapted to the under standing of the young.
