Excerpt from Spain and Her Lost Colonies 6. A Room in the Royal Palace. 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. She has rendered herself unpopular with the people because she discountenances that national barbarity, the Bull Fight, 10.

The Spanish Colonial System (Classic Reprint)

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.

The Essays of Phocion, on the Policy of the United States in Relation to the War Between Spain and Her Colonies (Classic Reprint)

Book Description
Excerpt from The Essays of Phocion, on the Policy of the United States in Relation to the War Between Spain and Her Colonies The object of the following Essays is to enquire how far it may be consistent with sound policy for the United States to take any part in the contest now subsisting between Spain and her Colonies in this quarter of the globe. This question, from many peculiar circumstances, presents itself to us North Americans, associated with feelings capable of diverting our judgments from a true decision upon its merits. In judging of the chances for the establishment of free forms of government in remote scenes, we are too apt to proceed on conceptions drawn from our own predilections for liberty, or on our sense of its general expediency. Instead of doing this, we should consider the character of those who are engaged in any contest for the government, which may arise in any given territory, and we should make all due allowances for the force of habit, which is every where so powerful, that much will, in every case, depend upon the previous manners and institutions of the country. It is a fact, attested by all history, that political happiness, (that is to say, liberty) is no less difficult of attainment, than necessary to the well-being of society. Upon this ground, when we consider that our southern namesakes, from previously existing circumstances, have been but ill prepared for their political emancipation, we may naturally suppose, however unwelcome the conclusion, that they are not likely to accomplish it speedily; when we view, too, the relative position in which they stand to each other and to the parent state, as well as her position in relation, with the other powers of Europe, we must be brought, I think, to the conclusion, that the period of their independence may yet be far distant. If it be admitted, that great doubts exist as to any of the South American colonies maintaining their independence (and still greater doubts certainly exist of their becoming free states) at this time, what madness would it be for us in any way to commit our neutrality, and to furnish a pretext for our enemies to "cry havoc, and let slip the dogs of war." But we shall be told, that Spain has given us abundant provocation; that she has withheld just indemnities due to our citizens; that she has advanced unfounded pretensions on the subject of boundary; and the catalogue of well founded complaints may be eked out by some fictitious items, and embellished with a dissertation upon the embroidered petticoat of the virgin, or a stale invective against the horrors of the Inquisition. To all this, the pertinent answer is, that the door of negociation is yet open; that we should do nothing which would close it against us so long as there shall remain any probability of a successful issue; that, in all events, we should abstain from meddling in that with which we have no concern; and that, if after exhausting the cup of conciliation, we should be driven to the last resort of nations, we may then, with full confidence, appeal to the justice of our cause and to the God of battle.
