ABSTRACT
I have explained how the people of these lands preserved their inheritances and liVed on them in ancient times, and that their proper and natural countries were known. There were many of these which I shall notice in their places, treating specially at present of the original settlers of the valley where stands the present city of Cuzco. For from there we have to trace the origin of the tyranny of the Inc:as, who always had their chief seat in the valley of Cuzco.
