_To
PROFESSOR CHARLES TOWNSEND COPELAND
of
HARVARD UNIVERSITY_
_Dear Copey:_
_I remember you thought it strange that my first trip abroad didn't make
me want to write about what I saw there. But since then I have visited
a country which stimulated me to express it in words. And as I wrote
these impressions of Mexico I couldn't help but think that I never would
have seen what I did see had it not been for your teaching me._
_I can only add my word to what so many who are writing already have
told you: That to listen to you is to learn how to see the hidden beauty
of the visible world; that to be your friend is to try to be
intellectually honest._
_So I dedicate this book to you with the understanding that you shall
take as your own the parts that please you, and forgive me the rest._
_As ever,_
_Jack._
