E. Goodman and Son, The Phœnix Press, Taunton. TO HIS MAJESTY KING ALFONSO XIII. Sire,
The great interest your Majesty has evinced in the Moorish Monuments which adorn your Majesty’s loyal and noble country, and the gracious appreciation with which you were pleased to regard my first work on The Alhambra, inspired me with the presumption to solicit the honour of your Majesty’s August Patronage for this volume, which is humbly dedicated to your Majesty agreeably to your gracious permission, by
Your Majesty’s humble Servant, Albert F. Calvert.
