THE FAIR GOD;
OR,
THE LAST OF THE 'TZINS.
A Tale of the Conquest of Mexico.

BY
LEW. WALLACE.

“From Mexico.... a civilization that might have instructed Europe was crushed
out..... It has been her [Spain's] evil destiny to ruin two civilizations, Oriental and
Occidental, and to be ruined thereby herself..... In America she destroyed races
more civilized than herself.”

— Draper, Int. Development of Europe.
