Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.Excerpt from Spain in Profile: A Summer Among the Olives and Aloes There is a class of readers whom the unscien tific traveler would gladly reach and interest, the light Skimmers of summer books between whom and distant countries lie, - not one, but many seas, and whose only hope, in all probabil ity, of seeing them is through the more favored eyes of others. For these - not for those who have personally undertaken the adventure of Spain this volume is specially written, a se ries of profiles projected more or less vaguely by a Spanish sun. The author feels his errors of omission and of commission quite as keenly as the most hostile critic could desire, and would hesitate to publish his sketches at all for more they do not profess to be - if. The general im pression pervading them were unfavorable to the Spaniards. Much has doubtless been over looked, much inadequately seen but the book is in no sense a guide-book, and wherever it hasbeen possible, details such as are found in guide books are left to those compilations. The reali ties of landscape, the mode of life and Of travel, the aspect of the old Spanish cities, the habits of the people, the vicissitudes of a summer journey set down just as they appeared, form the staple of these pages. Personal impressions may, per adventure, have a sort of value 5 and if this slight record, which pretends to nothing beyond being a faithful transcription of personal impressions, should awaken the interest of a single reader and persuade him to study a most interesting country for himself, its aim will be more than accom plished.
