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 Spain and the Spaniards, Vol. 2 of 2 The minister Castelar had written in his memo randum a few days before that the fall of the ancient Spanish monarchy was predoomed on that day when a mob of the populace, with curses on their lips and hatred in their hearts, had invaded the palace of Aranjuez to disturb the majestic repose of their sov ereigns. I had reached that square where on the 17th of March, 1808, occurred those events which were the prologue of the national war, and, as it were, the first word of the death-sentence of the ancient monarchy. My eyes quickly sought the windows of the apartments of the Prince of Peace; I imagined him, as he fled from room to room, pale and dis tracted, Searching for a hiding-place as the echo of the cry followed him up the stairs; I saw poor Charles IV., as with trembling hands he placed the crown of Spain on the head of the prince of the Asturias all the scenes of that terrible drama were enacted in fancy before my eyes, and the profound silence of the place and the sight of that palace, closed and desolate, sent a chill to my heart.

Excerpt: ...limb thus exposed, at each successive visit he had made to Valladolid, during the last five months. The friar, who seemed to be highly delighted with the way the robber's crime had been requited to him, remarked, that the limbs must all be taken down and collected for Christian burial before Palm Sunday, as no exhibition of that sort could continue during the Holy Week. The conscientious denial of absolution on the part of the murdered curate, may serve as an answer of no little force to such fanatical revilers VOL. II.

In this case, indeed, it was the occasion of crime, but under circumstances suited, on the contrary to have restrained it. The incident shows, moreover, the general prevalence of a religious feeling of some sort among the most abandoned classes in Spain, at a time when infidelity is so wide-spread and prevailing in almost every other country. Just as we had passed the fork of the road, and this terrible finger-board, pointing to Valladolid, we were overtaken by the Madrid diligence, drawn by no fewer than ten mules, coming on at the rate of a hunt, as is usual with diligences on entering a city, where there are likely to be abundance of spectators to be terrified or astounded by their speed, the zagals whooping, cursing, and belabouring their mules at every jump, and the train setting in motion a cloud of dust, in which we were suffocated. Presently after, the friar struck into a road leading to the right, taking leave of us most courteously, and with many a God-speed. He did not intend to lodge in the city, but in a convent of his order without the walls, having probably come in the same way throughout his whole journey, thus...
