Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spain From Within While a good deal has been written of late years about Spain from the point of view put forward by the governing classes, little or nothing has been said about the people - the mass of the nation - who, unable, the immense majority of them, to read or write, are more inarticulate than their fellows in any country of Europe west of Russia, but who have, nevertheless, very definite aspirations and ideals, entirely distinct from those of their rulers, at whose'hands, dis heartened as they are by long years of misgovern ment, they have almost abandoned any hope of amelioration of their lot.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Home Life in Spain My acquaintance with Spain dates back nearly twenty years. Since the first trip to Andalusia, taken on a tramp steamer that still fills a leading role when I suffer from nightmare, I have revisited the south half a dozen times and lived awhile in centre, north, and east. On several occasions holiday-making has provided the sole excuse for a visit, but I have acted as special correspondent to two daily papers, and this work gave me my first insight into the working of Spain's political machine. Of the fascination of the country and the charm of the people there is little set down in the following pages, not that it is possible to forget either, but because many pens have made the recital more tedious than a twice told tale. In the preparation of this volume I have relied for the most part upon memory and Charles Rudy. He it is who has set me right when memory tired or sought to play me false; in his pleasant company I still recall incidents of half-forgotten days and nights spent in the most fascinating country in Europe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Spain and New Spain On the night of the 14th of December, 1886, the Cortes in Madrid was crowded to hear Castelar. It was a critical moment. There had just been an insurrection, which had nearly proved a revolution. This sinister event led some to take gloomy views of the future of the country. Cas telar was more hopeful, and to justify his confidence he reviewed the history of Spain since he had been on the stage, in the course of which he recalled this startling remi niscence: that less than twenty years ago Senor Sagasta, the Prime Minister, to whom he pointed sitting at the head of the ministerial bench and Senor Martos, the President of the chamber; and himself - were all under sentence of death! To-day these proscribed men, condemned for no crime but that of loving their country too well, are the leaders of Spain. Sagasta is the head of the government Martos is the first man of the chamber; and Castelar, though in the Opposition, as he is a Republican, is the great orator and tribune of the people. This single fact shows how wide is the gulf that separates Old Spain from New Spain - the land of tyrants, of Charles V. And Philip 11, from the land of freedom. To set these contrasts, in sharp relief, and thus place the Dead Past alongside of the Living Present, is the object of this little volume, by which the writer hopes to engage the interest of his American readers for a country which has had a great history, and which may have a not less glorious future.

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 The Truth About Spain MY interest in Spain and her affairs began years ago, when roving fancy led me to take a long holiday, and circumstances shortly afterwards brought me into close friendship with an eminent Spanish scholar, who has been the judicious and disinterested guide of my studies. It was not long before I was drawn into a serious examination of Iberia's political and social problems, and contact with reformers and publicists of various schools of thought, added to exceptional opportunities for acquainting myself with the periodical literature of the country, only served to confirm my early impressions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Spain in New America The Home Mission text book of necessity confines itself to a study of those groups which live under the Stars and Stripes, i. E., the Mexicans living in the United States, and the Spanish speaking peoples of Porto Rico and Cuba. The latter group, being under the protection of this country, has been accepted as Home Mission territory by most of the denominations and is, therefore, included here. Believing that the Christian Church must be mightily aroused as to its responsibility for the Spanish speak ing peoples of the continents, so that spiritual growth may keep pace with material development, the Council of Women for Home Missions, representing the Women's Home Mission Boards of sixteen denomina tions, prayerfully sends forth this little book, trusting that through its agency there may be awakened a more responsive interest in those peoples who represent old spain in new america.

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.

With the crown upon her head. In her right hand she held a large crucifix. And in the left an ornamented taper. The Lady Abbess. Now taking leave. Withdrew, followed by the sister hood. Each bearing her lighted taper in her hand. The new bride was meantime left by herself. Kneeling, in front of the grating. Solemn music. And a few words appropriate to the occasion, were delivered by a priest. And the melancholy ceremony was at an end.

These the mozo, or porter, carries directly from the train to the hotel omni bus, which another good custom of the country is always in waiting, no matter at what hour the arrival. First class travel in Spain is about the same as second class elsewhere; second class is like third class in France, except on the express route from Paris to Madrid, and in Catalonia, where second class is comfortable.

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.
