Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spain and Her People Unfortunately, Spain is not a modern country; her glory is in the past, and she lives and prides herself in her past traditions, as though her glory and her future were not before her. She clings to the past, and rejects the methods that would secure progress and intelligence, and hence it is difficult to forecast the future of Spain. With her seventy per cent. Of illiterates, the lack of individual enterprise and pa triotism among her people, the need of cohesion among the different provinces, and the constant friction from various quarters; together with the prevailing poverty and a depleted treasury, we con fess that the outlook is not promising.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spanish People: Their Origin, Growth, and Influence The aim of the present scheme is to give in a series of well-printed, clearly written, and readable volumes a view of the process by which the leading peoples of the world have become great and earned their title to greatness; to describe the share each has contributed to the common stock of what, for a better term, we call civilization. It will, for instance, try and show how populations such as dwelt in the lands we now call France and Spain gradually came to be peoples with peculiar and characteristic nationalities of their own, and how all through the progress of their development they influenced other peoples materially, morally, and mentally, whereby certain elements of our own present-day lives and circumstances may be accounted for. It is, in fact, not so much a set of political or military or even social histories as a sequence of readable studies on the tendencies and potencies of the chief peoples of the world that this series will strive to present. The various volumes have been written by experts; for experience proves that when the man who knows his subject can write, he writes far better than the man who does not know his subject first-hand, but merely borrows from those who do.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Royal Spain of Today Above all else, writers on foreign parts should be broad of view and unprejudiced, and if I have become prejudiced in favor of Spain, it is because I entered Spain without prejudice and have been by experience with people and country made to know and under stand its worth, its sterling qualities, and its fascina tion. Although grace and beauty abound, and music and dancing are on every hand, Spain is not, as some people believe, a country primarily of castanets and fandangoes. The Spanish people are today fully alive to their great internal possibilities; the rich mines are yielding once again rich stores, ships are busy entering and leaving Spanish harbors as of old, industries have seemingly taken on in these last ten years new impetus, new railroads are being built, and Spain is indeed born again. Surely Spain's great heritage of the past would point to great achievement in the future, and while an occasional exception in heritage may weaken the bond for a time, it rarely breaks it, and among all who understand the Spanish people of the present day, it is generally believed that Spain is entering upon a new era of progress and achievement. Surely they are fortunate in their young King, born to them a king indeed, in a moment of need and anxiety, but inheriting from all sides the qualities necessary to guide and guard his people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Young People's History of the War With Spain The brief war between the United States and Spain was the outgrowth of the humanity of the American people and their love of fair play. They did not stand idly by when Spain was literally starving the people of Cuba into subjection to her will, but freely and generously sent food, medicine and clothing to the sufferers. When Spain's cruelty to the Cubans became intolerable to the civilized world, the United States intervened in the name of humanity and right, and demanded that the oppression should cease. Spain resented this, and the war followed. Much has been said and written regarding our conduct of the war, and the grave scandals that arose from it: but it is not the purpose of this volume to discuss these other than to say that, the work of the navy was clean and beyond question, while it is clear to every one that there was gross mismanagement on the part of army officials.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Legends Romances of Spain I have made an earnest endeavour to provide English readers with a conspectus of Spanish romantic literature as expressed in its cantares de gesta, its chivalric novels; its romanceros or ballads, and some of its lighter aspects. The reader will find full accounts and summaries of all the more important works under each of these heads, many of which have never before been described in English. If the perusal of this book leads to the more general study of the noble and useful Castilian tongue on the part of but a handful of those who read it, its making will have been justified. The real brilliance and beauty of these tales lie behind the curtains of a language unknown to most British people, and can only be liberated by the spell of study. This book contains merely the poor shadows and reflected wonders of screened and hidden marvels. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Spain and New Spain On the night of the 14th of December, 1886, the Cortes in Madrid was crowded to hear Castelar. It was a critical moment. There had just been an insurrection, which had nearly proved a revolution. This sinister event led some to take gloomy views of the future of the country. Cas telar was more hopeful, and to justify his confidence he reviewed the history of Spain since he had been on the stage, in the course of which he recalled this startling remi niscence: that less than twenty years ago Senor Sagasta, the Prime Minister, to whom he pointed sitting at the head of the ministerial bench and Senor Martos, the President of the chamber; and himself - were all under sentence of death! To-day these proscribed men, condemned for no crime but that of loving their country too well, are the leaders of Spain. Sagasta is the head of the government Martos is the first man of the chamber; and Castelar, though in the Opposition, as he is a Republican, is the great orator and tribune of the people. This single fact shows how wide is the gulf that separates Old Spain from New Spain - the land of tyrants, of Charles V. And Philip 11, from the land of freedom. To set these contrasts, in sharp relief, and thus place the Dead Past alongside of the Living Present, is the object of this little volume, by which the writer hopes to engage the interest of his American readers for a country which has had a great history, and which may have a not less glorious future.

How else should her once splendid, world-wide empire have so fallen into decay? N ow her possessions have dwindled to a frac tion of the Iber1an Peninsula and three muti nous colonies, one of which already lies under American guns. Spain herself has declined to the position of a fourth-rate European power, scarcely able to bolster up by ruinous loans her exhausted finances. Here are effects for which there is surely a cause. That cause 1s not in any desolating foreign invasion, and - must be in some qualities of the Spanish people. What are some at least, of those fateful traits, it is believed that this brief sketch will make evident.
