Note 53 — Chapter VI · SPAIN—HISTORIANS, MISCELLANEOUS WRITERS, AND THE MYSTICS.

There is not, I think, any modern edition of Sandoval, whose life of Charles V. first appeared in 1604-1606, since the second edition of Antwerp, 1681. It was translated and abridged in 1703 by Captain John Stevens, an indefatigable hack to whom we are indebted for many bad versions of Spanish originals.
