Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bridle Roads of Spain When you have made a mistake, generally the worst thing you can do is to enter into explanations; and when anybody begins with saying that something is generally inexpedient, you may be sure that he is, individually, and by special exception, going to do it himself. The reader will at once perceive that the Author of these pages, having rashly published a first, is now (perhaps still more rashly) about to apologize in a second edition. His work has met with, perhaps, more than its due proportion of literary notice, in which, as is usual, it has been praised and blamed for the same things by different critics. Under these circumstances, the Author would have been content to adopt the old expedient of accepting the praise and ignoring the blame, if there had not been one grave charge reiterated alike by reprovers and commenders (by these as "a serious blemish, which we the more regret from the many excellences," &c.; by those as the head and front of offending) - namely, the unscrupulous mixture of truth and fiction, which would mar a better book than," &c.

Download or read book Bridle Roads of Spain A Journey from Gibraltar to the Pyrenees in 1852 written by George Cayley and published by . This book was released on 2004-11 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Think of the words forgotten classic, then look at this book. For resting under the words Bridles Road of Spain is the most beautifully written equestrian travel account of the 19th century. Even in that age of bold and prolific Long Rider authors, no other work enjoyed this book s unique mixture of dashing exploits and enchanted writing. For this was no mere boy s own adventure. Rather, it was the keen-eyed memoir of a mounted poet, whose unique journey recorded a beloved country and then passed into literary oblivion itself. Oh, to be twenty-five, young and in love. For that was what George Cayley was, when he set out in 1852 to ride across one of the most romantic countries in the world. Accompanied by a fellow wandering spirit, the young Englishmen donned the dashing clothes of caballeros, bought two fiery steeds called the Moor and the Cid, then never looked back. Travellers seldom realize they are witnessing the passing of an age. Yet having just arrived from England, with its enthusiastic embrace of the mechanical marvels of the Victorian age, Cayley appreciated and wrote about the still-tranquil life he discovered in Spain. A student of the classics, he wrote movingly about the landscape before the intrusion of the motorized age. The young horseman saw no trains, just lonely mountains. He found few good roads, but plenty of sun-swept villages. He enjoyed scanty fare, but mixed with jubilant people. His journey took him through a slumbering Espana, from brooding Gibraltar, past glorious Granada, round Ronda, across Segovia and on to the peaks of the Pyrenees. Thus, it was while he was intoxicated with the magic of Spain, that Cayley stumbled on the birthplace of that country s greatest literary work of art. At the village of Argamasilla del Alba, the young writer made a pilgrimage to the cellar where Don Quixote had been written. It was there, in a damp, underground cell that Miguel Cervantes had penned the magnificent novel, while draped in chains. The words Cayley wrote about Cervantes and Don Quixote serve as a signpost to us today. Rare heart, bright focus of human sympathies, which in one book couldst stuff so much good-fellowship, and wit, and truth, that all thy fellow-men, generation after generation, must go on reading it for ever and a day; while every one of the millions who read, feels towards thee as a personal friend, the Englishman wrote about the Spaniard. Those kind words, written to enshrine the deeds of his fellow author, now ring true when applied to Cayley s masterpiece of equestrian travel literature.
