reigns of Peru.

The facts adduced in the course of this volume, relative to the
barbarous colonization system of the Spaniards, must sufficiently prove
how adverse was Spanish dominion to the improvement of the natives, and
to the prosperity of the country. For Peru, Nature's bounteously favored
land, let us hope that there is reserved a future, happier than either
the past or the present!

FOOTNOTES:

[Footnote 102: Even to this day the custom of forced domestic service is
kept up in some parts of the Sierra, where the priest is allowed the
services of a female cook, who is called a _Mita_, and a man servant,
for whom the name of _Pongo_ is reserved. These servants are kept for
the space of a week.]

[Footnote 103: Adelung, in his "Review of all Languages," considers the
Calchaqui (still spoken in Tucuman) to be a dialect of the Quichua. It
is, however, a dialect of the Aymara. Adelung makes another mistake
when he observes, that the Lama language is spoken in the neighborhood
of Truxillo.]

[Footnote 104: Of the _Quichua_, _Quitena_, and _Lama_ languages
several grammars and dictionaries exist. Of the _Kauqui_ only single
words have been preserved. There is a very imperfect dictionary of the
_Chinchaysuyo_ by Figueredo. Of the _Yunga_ there is a grammar with a
_Confesionario_ and Prayers by Fernando de Carrera--a very scarce work.]
