Letters Written During a Short Residence in Spain and Portugal (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters Written During a Short Residence in Spain and Portugal In the following letters I have related what I have seen. Of the anecdotes with which they abound, there are none of which I myself doubt the authenticity. There are no disquisitions on commerce and politics I have given facts, and the Reader may comment for himself. The book is written with scrupulous veracity; I have never in the slightest instance enlivened the narrative by deviating from plain truth.
