Excerpt from Sketches Awheel in Modern Iberia
Many places besides those mentioned proved interesting, and what was seen and experienced on the route was in its way quite as original and instructive as what was seen in the towns.
It is impossible to crowd within the limits of a modern book all of the material that is gath ered on a journey of this kind and length in the highways and byways of a land as large as Spain. Out of the mass that is available and of interest to the writers it is difficult to select what may prove most interesting to our read ers, whose diversity of taste is likely to be almost as great as their number.
