There are interminable vistas of rooms, grand salons hung with antique brocades and exquisite old satins in soft and beautiful colors, old rose and blue, embroidered in gold and flowers. This is one of the smaller apartments, but notice the polish of the beautiful mosaic floor, the costly table, the silken hangings, and richly covered walls. The Superb Throne Room 7. Throne Room. is hung entirely with ancient cramoisy velvet. The ornate beauty of this hall, in gold and crimson, is said to have impressed even Napoleon. With the Royal Palace at Madrid our own White House makes no comparison. The vacant throne is yet to be occupied by the Little King? 8. Little King. Alphonso XIII. Thirteen is said to be an unlucky number. So far the boy king has lost his colonies. What yet he may lose remains to be seen. Never has a little Prince had more tender maternal care or more princely education; and to that devoted mother and excellent woman, the Queen Regent, 9. Queen Regent. the people of Spain owe much. She, at least, in her high place has set the example of all that is most womanly, noble, and beautiful; and yet to many in the Kingdom she is simply the foreigner from Austria.

The Spanish Colonial System (Classic Reprint)

Languages : en
Pages : 56
Book Description
Excerpt from The Spanish Colonial System The sixteenth century saw the accomplishment of two great historical events of world-wide importance: the exploration of the globe, and the reformation of the church. The latter task, belonging particularly to the spiritual realm, devolved chiefly on the Germanic peoples; the former, of a more material nature, on the Romance nations. Italy's Share in Spain's Achievements - During this entire century Spain was, undoubtedly, the foremost power of Europe; yet in all of her splendid achievements she had to rely upon Italy. For example, in the sphere of religion, the foundation of the Order of Jesuits and the Council of Trent took their origin from Spain and Italy, equally; upon the whole it would be difficult to say whether the restoration of the Catholic Church at that time that violent recoil of the Reformation - is owing more to the Spaniards or to the Italians. How often the Spanish armies, in that age the leading troops of the world, were led by Italian generals! Recall only Spinola and Alexander of Parma, not to mention Pescara. 1 And do not Spanish literature and art, which 4 from the time of Philip II to that of Louis XIV unquestionably led those of all Europe, constitute in many respects a beautiful Silver age of the art and literature of Italyfi Similarly the discovery of the New World was effected not less by Italians (columbus, Amerigo, Cabot) than by Spaniards. The f as a rule, made the beginning on the sea; the latter, the conquest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Spanish Colonial Tucson
Author: Henry F. DobynsPublisher: Century Collection
ISBN: 9780816535194
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"[Dobyns] has written a fascinating account of the ethnic development of early Tucson. Using a variety of methods and sources, he reveals how Spaniards, mestizos from New Spain, and Native Americans from many tribes laid the ethnic foundations for the modern city. The book also provides much insight into the general history of Spanish colonial society as it evolved in the Tucson area to 1821. . . . Dobyns, utilizing previously unpublished primary sources, allows the early inhabitants of the Tucson area to speak for themselves, and their comments add much to a very colorful and exciting but often grim story. . . . And his penetrating look at the ethnic development of early Tucson should attract attention from anyone interested in a better understanding of how the nation as a whole achieved its multi-cultural character." --The Journal of American History
