IMPRESSIONS OF SPAIN.

BY ALBERT F. CALVERT, F.R.G.S. AUTHOR OF “The Discovery of Australia,” “The Exploration of Australia,” “My Fourth Tour in Western Australia,” “The Political Value of our Colonies,” etc., etc. London: GEORGE PHILIP & SON, LIMITED, 32, Fleet Street. Liverpool: PHILIP, SON & NEPHEW, 45-51, South Castle Street. All rights reserved. 1903. TO SEÑOR DON SEBASTIAN BARRIS.

My dear Bárris,

As the pleasure and instruction I have derived from my different visits to Spain have been contributed to so largely by your unfailing kindness and invaluable counsel, so the culminating pleasure of this modest attempt to set down my impressions of your fair country lies in the privilege of inscribing the result to you. In you I shall ever feel that I have a firm and wise friend and lenient critic, and I beg you to enhance the obligation of friendship by accepting this dedication with the assurance of my regard and esteem.
