 458 A HISTORY OF CHILE Die Republiken von Sud-Amerika, Geographisch und Statistisch, by J. C. Wappaus. The following works in English will also be found of interest: "Memoirs of General Miller." This is perhaps the best English account of the War of Independence. Captain Basil Hall's "Journal in Chile, Peru and Mexico," is also a graphic account of the same struggle. So also are "Lord Cochrane's Services in Chile, Peru and Brazil." (Dundonald). Maria Graham's "Journal of a voyage to Brazil and Chile," etc., and Haigh's "Trav- els in Buenos Ayres and Chile." Other valuable works and articles are, Meir's "Travels in Chile and La Plata;" Stevenson's "Twenty Years in South America;" Bon- nycastle's "Spanish America;" Watson's "Spanish and Portuguese South America;" Nile's "South America and Mexico, " covering the period of the revolution; American Register, Vol. II, page 273; Ec- lectic Review, Vol. XLII, page 406; Nile's Register, Vol. XIV, page 384. Later works are, Markham's article in Winsor's "Narrative and Critical History of America, " also in the Encyclopaedia Brittanica; Appletou's Annual Cyclopaedia; "Statesman's Year-Book;" Dahl- gren's "South Sea Sketches;" Hunter's "A Sketch of Chile;" "Hand- book of the American Republics;" "The Progress and Actual Condi- tion of Chile, " by G. Rose-Innes; "South America" (Bates); "Notes. of a Naturalist in South America" (Ball). Theo. Child's "Spanish- American Republics, " and Maurice H.Hervey's "Dark Days in Chile," are late works. On the war between Chile and Peru, Mr. Clements R. Markham's- ' 'The War between Chile and Peru,'' is the best account in English. His late work, "A History of Peru," covers the period succinctly. Lieutenant Mason's "War on the Pacific Coast of South America," — War series No. 11, Washington, 1885 — is also a reliable account, and from a military standpoint, the best. Boyd's "Chile in 1879-80," is pleasant reading. On the Civil war of 1891. Mr. Maurice H. Her- vey's "Dark Days in Chile," is the most complete account we have in English. The student of Chilean history will want to look into the Almagro afiair in Prescott's "Conquest of Peru," and will read with interest Garcilasso de la Vega's Royal Commentaries, which work is now ia very handy form in Markham's translation. He will also read for entertainment, "Wanderings in Patagonia," by Beerholm, "Across Patagonia, " by Dixie; "Adventures in Patagonia," by Coan: "Cruise of Tierra del Fuego " by Snow; "South America," by Gallenga, and "The English in South America," by Mullhall.
