Book Description
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 Description
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.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Short History of the War With Spain The period in Spanish history that we realise most easily and most vividly illustrates the period that we may never have realised at all - the dim, the remote part of it, the dawn of it, the beginning of the whole story. We know very well what Spaniards of the sixteenth century thought of the Western Hemisphere: their land of mystery, enchantment, adventure, and, above all, their source of the precious metals. Well, three thousand years earlier, the nations inhabiting the eastern shores of the Mediterranean entertained similar views in regard to Spain. It was the land of brightest colours and the most ardent land: the sun went down into it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Robert Ramble's Stories: Selected From the History of Spain The following narratives are chiefly drawn from Mrs. J amieson's Stories from Spanish His tory, and the historical works of Dr. Robertson. They contain much that is calculated to interest and instruct the youthful mind. A careful dis crimination is made throughout between the nar ratives which rest on authentic historical docu ments, and those which are drawn from popular tradition. The intimate connexion between the history of Spain and that of the New World, in the period of discovery, adventure, and conquest, will, it is presumed, render this little volume an acceptable present for American children.
