THE FASCINATING STORY OF MEXICO from earliest times is told in “A History of Mexico,” by Henry Bamford Parkes, professor of American History at New York University. This, the only single-volume history of Mexico in English, is a scholarly work which deals comprehensively with events and the evolving society of Mexico since the Spanish conquest. It briefly surveys the pre-history period, the trend of which is reconstructed from archaeological research. The picture (from the book) is of the Church of Ocotlan, in Tlaxcala, which is an example of the churrigueresque architectural style developed in Spanish America. “A History of Mexico” is published by Eyre and Spottiswoode.
