Text G p356. Around the edge of this standard of Cortes there appears in Spanish: "This standard was that carried by Hernando Cortes in the Conquest of Eexico." It now hangs in he Rational Kuseum at Eexico Ci.ty--a relic of the stirring times when t' e present city was Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital and rhe scene of Hontezuma's grandeur. Another standard carried by Cortes was, according to Prescott, "of black velvet, embroideried with gold, and emblazoned with a red cross amidst flames of blue and white, with this motto in Latin beneath: 'Friends, let us follow the Cross; and under this sign, if we have faith, we shall conquer.
