Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Memoirs of General Miller, Vol. 1 of 2: In the Service of the Republic of Peru
The Appendix has been enlarged by the insertion of several documents, in order to elucidate the Opera tions in the Puertos Intermedios, and some others which serve to illustrate more fully the character of persons mentioned in the narrative.
Having published a Spanish edition, I think it due to my friend, the translator, to give that part of his preface which exhibits his own view of the Spa nish colonial system, and although I do not concur in the Opinions he advances, I cannot express my dissent from them without at the same time acknow ledging, that great credit is due to him for the mo deration and honourable feeling with which he has advocated the cause of his own country.
After describing the contents of this work, and paying some compliments, which emanate rather from the warmth of friendship than the impartiality of criticism, General Torrijos sketches, in very hand some terms, the character of the subject of the Me moirs, and proceeds as in the annexed translation.
