Excerpt from The Spanish Jilt The Country Jilt, called in Spanish, La Picara Justina, is not a translation, but rather an extract of all that is diverting and good in the original, which is swelled up with so much cant and reflection, as really renders it tedious and unpleasant; for which reason all that unsavory part is omitted, and only so much rendered into English as may be diverting and in structing. Her pranks may, perhaps, 'to some, seem too vulgar, or mean, but they will do well to consider she is but a country girl, and acts as such. It was written by the licentiate Francisco de Ubeda, a native of Toledo. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
