Humboldt’s History of New Spain.

“The present population of Mexico is estimatedat 135 to 140,000 individuals ——It probably con-sists of

3,500 white Europeans.
65,000 white Creoles.
33,000 Indigenous, [copper-coloured]
26,500 Mestizoes, mixture of Whites andIndians.
10,000 Mulattoes.
137,000 inhabitants.

“There are, consequently, in Mexico, 69,500 menof colour, and 67,500 whites; but a great numberof the Mestizoes, are almost as white as the Euro-peans and Spanish Creoles! “In the twenty-three male convents which thecapital contains, there are nearly 1200 individuals,of whom 580 are priests and choristers. In the fif-teen female convents, there are 2100 individuals, ofwhom nearly 900 are professed religieuses.” “Among the colonies subject to the king ofSpain, Mexico occupies, at present, the first rank,both on account of its territorial wealth, and on ac-count of its favourable position for commerce withEurope and Asia. We speak here merely of thepolitical value of the country, considering it in itsactual state of civilization, which is very superiourto that of the other Spanish possessions. Manybranches of agriculture have undoubtedly attaineda higher degree of perfection in the province ofCaraccas than in New-Spain. The fewer mines acolony has, the more the industry of the inhabitantsis turned towards the productions of the vegetablekingdom. The fertility of the soil is greater in theprovinces of Cumana, of New Barcelona, and Ve-nezuela; and it is greater on the banks of the LowerOrinoco, and in the northern part of New Granada,than in the kingdom of Mexico, of which severalregions are barren, destitute of water, and incapa-ble of vegetation. But on considering the greatnessof the population of Mexico, the number of consid-erable cities in the proximity of one another; theenormous value of the metallick produce and its in-fluence on the commerce of Europe and Asia; inshort, on examining the imperfect state of cultiva-tion observable in the rest of Spanish America, weare tempted to justify the preference which thecourt of Madrid has long manifested for Mexico,above its other colonies.”
