Excerpt from Obras del Sr. D. J. Maria Roa Bárcena, Vol. 5: Ensayo de una Historia Anecdotica de Mexico en los Tiempos Anteriores a la Conquista de Mexico (Historiadores)
Algunos escritores extranjeros, por ig norar los fundamentos de nuestra historia antigua, o para salir bruscamente del dée (lalo de dudas y aun contradicciones á que lleva el estudio de ella hecho sin método ni profunda dedicacion, tienen por fabulo sos en su mayor parte los tiempos ante rioresa la conquista española; habiendo llegado Robeftsoná asentar que el primer hecho cíertoe indisputable, es el de que Moctezuma reinaba en Méxicoa la lle gada de los conquistadores. Pero& si bien la sana crítica debe avalorar como invero similes y hasta falsos no pocos de los he chos trasmitidos, hay otros, y son mu chos, cuya certidumbre descansa eu' las mismas bases que la historia de la genera iidad de los demás pueblos de-la tierra.
