Excerpt from Journal of a Residence and Tour in the Republic of Mexico in the Year 1826, Vol. 1 of 2: With Some Account of the Mines of That Country In the evening, the Commandant and his wife, with some officers of the garrison, paid me a visit at the Consul's house, where his sister amused the party by playing on the piano-forte and a host of half-naked natives soon crowded round the door and windows, which latter at Tampico have no glass, and seemed highly delighted with the music; some of the children remarking with astonishment, that the Senora read a book while playing.
