1850WRCAM40555New York: Casper C. Childs 1850. 35pp. Illus. Dbd. Some light tanning. Small stains to first three leaves. Minor paper loss to top of last page not affecting text. Very good. English translation from the original Spanish of Velasquez' supposed memoir actually a concoction dreamed up to draw attention to the two small mixed-blood children which were hauled about and displayed in America and on the continent. The children described as "Descendants and Specimens of the Sacerdotal Cast of the Ancient Aztecs" were in reality of mixed Indian Spanish and Negro blood and were enslaved near San Miguel. "It is the most circumstantial fiction which the brain of an advertising agent ever conceived" - Field. Sabin records three issues printed this same year; this printing by Childs appears to be the scarcest of the three. SABIN 98812. FIELD 1598. Casper C. Childs unknown books
