by Acofta and Herrera, but what is derived from the improbable narratives and fanciful conjectures of Torquemada and Boturini. Having copied their splendid defcriptions of the high state of civilization in the Mexican empire, he, in the abundance of his zeal for the honor of his native country, charges me with having mistaken fome points, and with having mifrepresented others, in the Hiftory of it. When an author is conscious of having exerted industry in research, and impartiality in decifion, he may, without prefumption, claim what praise is due to these qualities, and he cannot be infenfible to any accufation that tends to weaken the force of his claim. A feeling of this kind has induced me to examine fuch ftrictures of M. Clavigero on my Hiftory of America as merited any attention, especially as these are made by one, who seemed to poffefs the means of obtaining accurate information; and to show that the greater part of them is destitute of any just foundation. This I have done in notes upon the paffages in my Hiftory, which gave rife to his criticisms.
