[Brevísima relación de la destrucción de la Indias. Selections English]
Title
Popery truly display'd in its bloody colours: or, a faithful narrative of the horrid and unexampled massacres, butcheries, and all manner of cruelties, that hell and malice could invent, committed by the popish Spanish party on the inhabitants of West-India: together with the devastations of several kingdoms in America by fire and sword, for the space of forty and two years, from the time of its first discovery by them. Composed first in Spanish by Bartholomew de las Casas, a bishop there, and an eyewitness of most of these barbarous cruelties; afterward translated by him into Latin, then by other hands, into High-Dutch, Low-Dutch, French, and now taught to speak modern English.
