Description
Excerpt from The History of Puerto Rico: From the Spanish Discovery to the American Occupation
The author has endeavored to portray salient characteristics of the life on the island, to describe the various acts of the reigning government, to point out the evils of colonial rule, and to figure the gen eral historical and geographical conditions in a man ner that enables the reader to form a fairly accurate judgment of the past and present state of Puerto Rico.
No attempt has been made to speculate upon the setting of this record in the larger record of Spanish life. That is a work for the future. But enough history of Spain and in general of continental Eu rope is given to render intelligible the various and varied governmental activities exercised by Spain in the island. There is, no doubt, much omitted that future research may reveal, and yet it is just to state that the record is fairly continuous, and that no salient factors in the island''s history have been over looked.
