Casas

Here and there a Las Casas appears, but he shines forth against a dark and universally extensive background.

To this point I shall return hereafter, when we come to consider the sublime character of Las Casas.

He is generally deemed honest, though Las Casas thought him otherwise.

It is held by some of these later advocates of the book that parts of the original Spanish text can be identified in Las Casas.

Las Casas did not live to finish the task, though he labored upon it down to 1561, when he was eighty-seven years old.
