These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside Gatherings From Spain: Look inside the book: Nature has provided commensurate outlets for the infinite productions of a country which is rich alike in everything that is to be found either on the face or in the bowels of the earth; for the mines and quarries abound with precious metals and marbles, from gold to iron, from the agate to coal, while a fertile soil and every possible variety of climate admit of unlimited cultivation of the natural productions of the temperate or tropical zones: thus in the province of Granada the sugar-cane and cotton-tree luxuriate at the base of ranges which are covered with eternal snow: a wide range is thus afforded to the botanist, who may ascend by zones, through every variety of vegetable strata, from the hothouse plant growing wild, to the hardiest lichen. ...The Moorish geographer Alrasi was the first to take difference of climate as the rule of dividing the Peninsula into distinct portions; and modern authorities, carrying out this idea, have drawn an imaginary line, which runs north-east to south-west, thus separating the Peninsula into the northern, or the boreal and temperate, and the southern or the torrid, and subdividing these two into four zones: nor is this division altogether fanciful, for there is no caprice or mistake in tests derived from the vegetable world; manners may make man, but the sun alone modifies the plant: man may be fused down by social appliances into one uniform mass, but the rude elements are not to be civilized, nor can nature be made cosmopolitan, which heaven forfend. About Richard Ford, the Author: He was the eldest son of Benjamin Booth's daughter and heiress, who married Sir Richard Ford, an MP in 1789 and for many years chief police magistrate of London. ...In the summer of 1851, Richard Ford married his third wife, Mary Ford, née Molesworth, (1816-1910), who was a daughter of Sir Arscott Ourry Molesworth, 7th Baronet (1789-1823).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Over the Pyrenees Into SpainThe Spanish nation is professedly devote; they forget while professing themselves Chris tians, that hospitality is especially inculcated by Christ, and Heaven itself held out as its reward I was a stranger, and ye took me in.' All, therefore, that this little volume can claim is to be a lively narrative of the scenes I passed through, and the people I met. If it meet from a discerning public as kind and generous a reception as its predecessor, I hope, ere long, to be once more a candidate for equal favour; and meanwhile, I meekly fold my arms, curtsey down to the very ground to the audience in pit and boxes, in grateful thanks for their favour, and hope the gods - i.e. The critics in the gallery - won't hiss me.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spain and the Spaniards, in 1843, Vol. 2 of 2 WE had great difficulty in finding places in the diligence to Madrid, all the better seats being secured for weeks beforehand; there were two rival com panics, and we were obliged to take the coach of the inferior administration but they assured me there was little difference in the arrangements, especially in the important article of the time consumed upon the road. I must beg the attention of the reader particularly to the ensuing pages, because in them will be re lated an event of no small importance in the extra ordinary and unexpected scenes that shortly after wards followed in the south of Spain, and it formed a hinge, on which a part of the results from the movements we have seen, turned.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Revelations of Spain in 1845, Vol. 1 of 2 The first six months of 1845 will be for ever memorable in the legislative annals of Spain, as having been marked by most important and extensive reforms in the Constitution of 1837 - changes so vast and so threatening to liberty, and at the same time so apparently definitive, as to merit still more than our own Reform Act, the name of a Revolution. The strong position accorded to the Spanish Church of re endowment with real property, and the several events which found their completion last month, in the close of the Cortes and the promulgation of the Con stitutional Reform, combine to give to this second edition, the character of almost a new and substantive work. About one hundred original pages have been added, embodying in the various chapters, under the fitting heads, a careful analysis of all the late constitutional and legislative reforms, and a com pletion of the History to the present hour.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spain and the Spaniards, in 1843, Vol. 1 Asturias, and Galicia, to Vigo, and then embark for England. We preferred the spring, because - although in Spain the weather is often very unsettled at that season, heavy rains interrupting the communi cation, rendering travelling uncertain and dis agreeable - with a limited time upon your hands, it is upon the whole the best; the vegetation is in its greatest beauty; the days are lengthening, and the weather improving; by regulating your movements, as I had planned, and moving north wards, you avoid the great heat, which in the southern provinces is considerable by the middle of June.

This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gazpacho or Summer Months in Spain If Mr. Ford should chance to dip into it, he may find that some of the ingredients have been filched from his pantry, and, possibly, spoilt in the cooking. When one takes as a companion an author so racy and vigorous, one cannot but appropriate and assimilate' his thoughts, and afterwards, unconsciously, reproduce some of them as original. Once for all, I beg his pardon for any unwitting plagiarisms. I shall be more than content if he relishes the metaphorical Gazpacho half as much as he is said to relish the reality. My readers may possibly be offended by the frequent recurrence of I, ' I, ' I.' In a record of personal experiences, - in fact, a passage of autobiography, - it is hard to see how this could have been avoided, since the gods and Lindley Murray have not provided us with any less objectionable form for the nominative singular of the first personal pronoun.
