Excerpt from Spanish Papers and Other Miscellanies, Hitherto Unpublished or Uncollected, Vol. 1 of 2 Spain was rescued from the Moors. I have selected these themes from a'mass of unpublished manuscript that came into my hands at the death of Mr. Irving, because they bore the impress of being most nearly, though not fully, prepared for the press, and because they had for him a special fascination, arising in part, perhaps, from his long residence in that romantic country. These old Morisco Spanish subjects, is the language of one of his published letters, have a charm that makes me content to write about them at half price. They have so much that is high-minded and chivalrous and quaint and picturesque. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
