Untranslatable Spanish words are very properly used in the
text, but as long as it is possible to be absolutely correct, there
is no. excuse for the total absence of accents from such words as
bohio, cidula, maravedi, clerigo, ineditos, colecci6n, cimara, fun-
dicion, and every other word requiring an accent. Naburia (on
page 152) appears as naboria on 195. One is correct. Mara-
vedises (174) is' inaccurate. It is to be hoped that the volume
which succeeds this, if there be one, may be written in the third
person, and not in the first. Because it is written in English
and gives a connected history of Cuba in the sixteenth century,
this volume will be of use to the general reader and the class-
room student.
