Book Description
Excerpt from Essays From the Sketch-Book Soon after the publication of the latter work, having been commissioned to make some translations from the Spanish, Irving proceeded to Madrid. Here he wrote The Life of Columbus, which brought him forward as a serious his torian. To this stay we also owe those delightful books, The Conquest of Granada and Tales of the Alhambra, the latter published at the end of a stay of three years in London as Secretary of Legation.
