Download or read book Rambles in Spain Classic Reprint written by John Driscoll Fitz-Gerald and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rambles in Spain During 1909 these chapters appeared as a Reading Journey Through Spain, in The Chautauquan. In revising and expanding them for this volume it was deemed wise not to alter the slightly personal and didactic tone of the original version. As the author did not Visit the Northwest, nor the extreme West and Southwest of Spain, he has given no chapters on those sections. For the Northwest and West, however, the omission is not much to be regretted, as the reader may easily turn to the delightfully written and beautifully illustrated N ote Book in Northern Spain, by Mr. Archer M. Huntington. In the opinion of the pres ent writer, the long and interesting chapter upon the bull ring has not its equal in English.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rambles in Sunny Spain On our way through England over the Northwestern Railway we were impressed with the thorough cultivation everywhere shown. Every rod of the surface seemed to have been ploughed, or harrowed, or grubbed with a hoe, or teased with a rake. But in France, on the route from Dieppe to Paris, every foot, every inch almost, seemed to have been thoroughly pulverized and planted. Thrift and content ment here dwelt side by side.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rambles in the Footsteps of Don Quixote A small portion of this work appeared in the Englishman's Magazine some years ago, and ex cited great and general interest; when that periodi cal was discontinued, Mr. Inglis was earnestly solicited, not only by his friends, but by those who were acquainted with him merely through the me dium of literature, to complete a work which pro nnsed to illustrate the most delightful of romances, and also to exhibit the most characteristic features of Spanish life. Other avocations compelled him to delay for a season the accomplishment of this task; but early in 1835, the manuscript was pre pared for the press, and the forthcoming work announced in the usual channels of literary intelli gence. Before, however, the printing could be begun, a mortal disease seized upon the lamented author, and he sunk into the grave universally regretted.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rambles of a Naturalist on the Coasts of France, Spain, and Sicily, Vol. 1 of 2 I have thought that the best means Of bringing the educated classes to adopt more correct ideas was to leave zoology to defend itself by showing the great truths which it has discovered and the nume rous facts which it comprises, and by indicating the problems Of general physiology which it has solved and the profound questions Of natural philosophy which no other science can so well enter upon. By this course I hoped to bring over to the ranks Of its defenders a band Of intellectual supporters, and I think I may venture to assert that experience has shown that my hopes were not unfounded.

What befell me on this vacation jaunt is no story of harrowing adventure, nor yet a record of the acquisition of new facts. But as I covered a thousand miles of the Iberian peninsula on foot, twice that distance Iby third-class rail, and am given to mingling with the masses, it may be that there have filtered into the following pages some facts and impressions that will be new to the reader.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scenes in Spain I had passed a bright June day in rambling over the wild rock of Gibraltar, that singular land-mark which nature has reared from the bosom of the water to mark the southern boundary of Europe, and which in the olden time was regarded as the consecrated limit of the habitable world. Beyond, as was supposed, rolled a wide waste of waters, to explore whose trackless expanse would have been deemed an act of blind and fruitless desperation. While I looked with wonder on this bold work of nature, I explored, too, with curious surprise, the efforts of human labour, where the cunning hand of.

We therefore thought it best to go on to Biarritz, and wait for calmer times. There we were fortunate enough to meet friends coming out of Spain, who said they had found no difficulties to signify, and strongly urged us to go on. We were quite willing to follow this advice; the only obstacle was, that the trains did not go. There was nothing for it but to enjoy ourselves at Biarritz. Sketching, scrambling about the cliffs, and walking on the sands by that delicious green sea. So pleasant was it, that I think we were almost sorry when we were told that we could now have tickets for Spain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Impressions of Spain Philosopher, and in particular genial one, shrewd to observe, and yet indulgent to, the foibles of his fellows, whom he surveys in the light of an amused and charitable introspection of his own na ture, is apt to make a good diplomatist. Of this type was Franklin, the precursor of a distinguished line of American repre sentatives at foreign courts taken from the walks of letter-craft. High in the ranks of these stood Lowell. When, therefore, the relations of our country to Spain had reached a stage of comparative repose; when, after long turmoil and change, regular in its very incon stancy, the Celtiberian nation had wiped out old scores at home, pacified its unruly province beyond the sea, and addressed itself to the cultivation of civil well-being and progress, it was entirely fitting that our Government should turn from the employ ment of soldier-diplomatists like Sickles, and wily masters of profoundest jurisprud ence like Cushing, as its envoys, and revert to the policy which, in 1842, on the eve of the girl-queen Isabel's assumption of the reins of government in her own thirteen year-old right, had prompted the selection of Washington Irving as Minister to the Court of San Fernando.
