16 Bryce, op. cit. The following summary is based on pp. 523–551 and 570–586. Bryce illustrates the common exaggeration of the isolation of the Spanish Americans; see, for example, pp. 574, 580. He believed this isolation had “retarded their development” ever since the Conquest.

For a brief but instructive account of the rise of the middle class in Chile, the victory of democratic elements over the oligarchy, and the fiasco they soon suffered under the leadership of Arturo Alessandri, the “Lion of Tarapaca,” see Donoso, Ricardo, Desarrollo político y social de Chile desde la Constitución de 1833 (2d ed., Santiago de Chile, 1942), pp. 113121Google Scholar. This little book is a notable exception to the neglect that the history of the Latin American countries in the post fifty or seventy-five years has suffered at the hands of historians in those countries.
