Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Spain The fact that this book is in great part a summary, or selection, from one of mine, as is stated in the Preface, makes it almost a duty for me to do what would in any event be a great pleasure in the case of a work by Professor Chap man. I refer to the duty of writing a few paragraphs by way Of introduction. But, at the same time, this circum stance causes a certain conflict of feelings in me, since no one, unless it be a pedant, can act so freely in self-criticism as he would if he were dealing with the work of another. Fortunately, Professor Chapman has incorporated much of his own harvest in this volume, and to that I may refer with entire lack Of embarrassment.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spanish Pictures: Drawn With Pen and Pencil And Spain resembles Africa or the East in those very points in which she differs from the rest of Europe. The soil has that dry and sterile look with which African travellers are familiar. One may travel for hours over tracts of country in which there is scarcely a living thing to disturb the solitude leagues upon leagues of bare rock without a particle of soil clinging to their sides vast undulating plains, treeless and waterless; districts, each as large as an English county, covered with blocks of granite or limestone, like the desert of Sinai. Geologically, as well as in appearance, Spain is but a northern extension of the Sahara. Those who visit Spain, expecting to find exuberant fertility, will be disappointed. There are indeed fizzerfas, which produce their three or four crops a year, and repay the slightest amount of labour by harvests of incredible richness. But these seem like oases in an arid waste. Probably less than one half of the soil is under cultivation. Certainly the general aspect of the country is that of utter sterility and barrenness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Child's History of Spain At that time the peninsula was inhabited by two races, who were know as Iberians and Celts, and who afterwards blended and were'then called Celtiberians. The Iberians came from Africa, and were short, dark skinned men, though not negroes; the Celts came from the North, were tall and white, wore their hair in long braids, and dressed in leathern coats, over which they threw long black cloaks. They spent their time in war or at the chase, while their women tilled the fields. Their weapons were swords and spears of iron, and they were skilled horsemen. They lived chiefly on vegetables, fruits, acorns, and chestnuts, and were not acquainted with strong liquor. In some respects they may remind you of some of our Indian tribes. 1' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spain of the Spanish I have said, somewhere in the chapter on Literature, that a true realist must set aside his personal thoughts and feelings and content himself with stating facts. But then one cannot state facts unless one knows them, and one cannot know a Country and a People unless one is in sympathy with them. And the parent of sympathy is understanding, just as the parent Of understanding is trust. And so we find ourselves once again appreciating that most splendid quality of the Spaniard to which I have above alluded! It is very possible that here and there in these pages English readers may find ideas and sentiments with which they are not in accord, but always the title Of the book must be remembered. Spain of the English is not at all the same thing as Spain of the Spanish! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Record of Spanish Painting IN writing the history of Spanish painting, I have striven to recount the growth of the country's art from the stand point of historical evolution. It seemed to me that such a work was needed. The pictures of Spain are, in a very special degree, the outgrowth of the national life, and the distinctive character of the country's record has given them a specific interest. It is not over-stating the truth to say that Spain is the land where the seed was sown for the artistic harvest we are reaping to-day. It is these thoughts that have guided me while writing this record. I have not tried to give a chronological account of every Spanish painter. This work has already been achieved by Sir William stirling-maxwell in the Annals of the Artists of Spain. I have never hesitated to omit those painters whose work to me seemed insignificant and without meaning in the development of the art-life of the country.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Impressions of Spain Of the historical interest attached to St. Sebastian, we will say nothing are they not written in the book of the chronicles of Napier and Napoleon The following morning, after a fine and crowded service at the Church of S. Maria, where they first saw the beautiful Spanish custom of the women being all veiled, and in black, two of the party started at Seven in the morning, in a light carriage, for Loyola. The road throughout is beautiful, reminding one of the Tyrol, with picturesque Villages, old Roman bridges, quaint manor-houses, with coats of arms emblazoned over their porticoes rapid, clear trout-streams and fine glimpses of snowy mountains on the left, and of the bright blue sea on the right. The flowers too were lovely. There was a dwarf blue bugloss of an intensity of colour which is only equalled by the large forget-me-not on the mountain-sides of Lebanon. The peasants are all small proprie tors. They were cultivating their fields in the most primitive way, father, mother, and children working the ground with a two-pronged fork.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life in Spain, Past and Present Nothing could be more distinct than the new and Oporto captains. One was a dandy captain; the other an old salt captain. Blowra I found the sailors called the latter, be cause he liked rough weather, and was always in highest spirits when the wind was highest. If a hurricane rose and grappled with the ship like a wrestling devil with a praying Puritan, then he was calm, sturdy, and unflinching - ready for any thing. Risen from a common sailor, Jolly (alias) Blow hard had been pitching and tossing all over the world. His complexion was chocolate-color, and the whites of his eyes were coffee-color. What in other men looked like wet white porcelain, was in him of a rich brown, partly owing to repeat ed yellow fevers, partly owing to malaria attacks on the coast of 'afiica. But, in spite of his eyes, and short, squat figure, Captain Jolly was a real honest sailor; punctiliously cautious of his ship's safety, and sparing no pains nor anxiety to insure us a quick voyage. In all weathers he was upon the paddle box bridge, glass in hand, looking out for pilots, or the mouths of rivers, or shore, of something; never down to dinner with us, if the navigation was at all risky.
