About
La Puebla de los Angeles is peculiar, even among the cities of modern Mexico, peculiar in the fact, that two-thirds of its population are composed of priests, pelados, poblanas, pickpockets, and incarones of a bolder type. Perhaps I have been too liberal in allowing a third to the "gente de bueno," or respectable people. There are travelers, who have altogether denied their existence, but this may be an exaggeration on the other side. Trusting to my own souvenirs, I think I can remember having met with honest men-and women too- in the City of the Angels. But, I shall not be positive about their proportion to the rest of the population. It may be less than a third-certainly it is not more!
