To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Hind. Vol. Ii. 327.
129 The accounts given by Clavigero of the remaining great gods, are too brief and insignificant to merit no tice. Besides these, they also had 260 deities, to whom as many days were dedicated.
The Mexicans also had their Penates, or household gods, which were called Tepitoton. Of these small images, the king and great lords had always six in their houses ; the nobles had four ; and the lower class of people two. These gods were to be seen every where in the streets.
The com...parison which might be made here, must be obvious to every one acquainted with Roman mythology.
The most extraordinary idol of the Mexicans, was a representation of Huitzilopoctli, made by pasting certain seeds together with human blood.
This custom of making images of seeds, is not pe culiar to the Mexicans ; though it appears they were the only people who made their gods in this manner. The substance of the following extract is from Rollin's Ancient History : " Empedocles, of Agrigentum, having con- quered at some of the publick games, was obliged to feast the people with an ox ; but being a Pythagorean, he could not kill an animal ; he therefore had the image of an ox 130 made of a paste, composed of myrrh, in cense, and the different varieties of spices ; which was broken up, and the pieces given to those present.
