Mr. Summers informs me that the issues of the British and Foreign Bible Society, Bibles and Testaments, in Spain for the past three years are as follows:
Year.Bibles.Testaments.Portions.Total.
1910,5,3098,97170,59484,874
1911,5,66511,48179,52596,671

The Calle del Principe is now rapidly being pulled down and new buildings taking the place of those Borrow knew.
