From hence it will not be necessary to investigate the laws of these small societies^ which were probably governed only by usages and customs that had been introduced through motives of necessity or convenience. The right of private property was fully esta- blished among the Chilians. Each was absolute master of the field that he cultivated^ and of the product of his industry^, which he could transmit to his children by hereditary succession. This fundamental principle gave rise to the first ar...ts^ which the wants of nature and their political constitution required. They built their houses of a quadrangular form, apd covered the roof with rushes, the walls were made of wood plais- tered with clay, and sometimes of brick, icalled by them tica ; the use of which they doubtless learned from the Peruvians, among whom it was known by the same name. From the wool of the Chilihueque, they ma- nufactured cloths for their garments : for this they made use of the spindle and distafi^, and two kinds of looms ; the first, called gureguCj is not very unlike that used in Europe ; the other is vertical, from whence it derives its name uthal- gue, from the verb nthaleUj which signifies to stand upright.
