First sentence: IN the second volume of his travels in Central America-than which no work ever published in this country, has created and maintained higher degree of interest, both at home and abroad-Mr. Stevens speaks with enthusiasm of the conversations he had held with an intelligent and hospitable Padre, or Catholic priest, of Santa Cruz del Quiche, formerly of the village of Chajul; and of the exciting information he had received from him, concerning immense and marvellous antiquities in the surrounding country, which, to the present hour, remain entirely unknown to the world.
