An Account of the Abipones, an Equestrian People of Paraguay, (1 of 3)

Part 26

Chapter 26187 wordsPublic domain

Of metals, or rather of the total absence of all metals, I have discoursed elsewhere. Wild animals, trees, and plants I have described with a hasty touch, like one speeding upon a journey. Let me hasten therefore to the Abipones, the chief subject of my pen, lest I appear to dwell too long upon the introductory part of my work.

Transcriber's notes.

1. The two "n"s with Macrons have been changed to ñ in this sentence to have consistency with the rest of the book. "The spirit of evil they call Aña or Añanga, but they pay him no adoration." Some unicode characters might not be available in all fonts and we advise using a font that renders unicode.

2. Variations in hyphenation, accentuation and punctuation have been retained as they were in the original publication.

3. Variations in the spelling of proper nouns have been retained as they appear in the original publication.

4. Possible printer and typographical errors have been changed silently.

5. Italicized words and phrases are presented by surrounding the text with _underscores_.
