About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1854 Excerpt: ...a cigar, then one for herself. Some time is spent reclining, chatting, and regaling. The man slowly pulls on his cotton trousers, woollen coat, leather shoes, and vicuna hat, with his neck expired to the fresh air, --silk handkerchiefs are scarce, --he walks to some near neighbors, with whom he again drinks chocolate and smokes another cigar. At midday a small low table is set in the middle of the room, and the family go to breakfast. The wife sits next to her husband; the women, are very pretty and affectionate to their husbands. He chooses her from, among five, there being about that number of women to one man in the town. The children seat themselves, and the dogs form a ring behind. The first dfeh is a chupe of potatoes with large pieces of meat. The man helps himself first, and throws his bones straight across the table; a child dodges his head to give it a free passage, and the dogs rush after it as it falls upon the ground floor. A child then throws his bone, the mother dodges, and the dogs rush behind her. The second dish holds small pieces of beef without bones. Dogs are now fighting. Next comes a dish with finely-chopped beef; then beef soup, vegetables, and fruits; finally, coffee or chocolate. After breakfast the man pulls off his trousers and coat and lies down with his drawers in the hamac. His wife lights him a cigar. She finds her way back to bed with her cigar. The dogs jump up and lie down on the chairs--the fleas bite them on the ground. The Indian girl closes both doors and windows, takes the children out to play, while the rest of the family sleep. At 2 p. m. the church bells ring to let the people know the priests are saying a prayer for them, which rouses them up. The man rises, stretches his hand above his head, and gapes; the dogs get.
