Mr. Markham has done his work well, and with ardent love for his
subject. The country is a favorite one with him, and has furnished
him with matter for three monographs before the present history. In a
necessarily limited space he has given the leading facts, and taken a
comprehensive view from the earliest time, down almost to the current
year. Not the least interesting portions are the brief but strongly
individual sketches of some of the remarkable men who have figured in
the annals of Peru. In a few virile paragraphs he presents the more
famous generals, viceroys, presidents and patriots. The book is well
equipped with maps, abounds with pictures, and has an appendix rich in
its statistics and important documents.--_The Literary World._
Mr. Markham is thoroughly at home with his subject. He possesses
a strong, graphic style eminently suited to it, and the amount of
information that he has managed to crowd into the space at his disposal
is simply marvelous.--_New Orleans Picayune._
