Excerpt from The History of Spain and Portugal: From B. C. 1000 to A. D. 1814 Tats History is offered to the Public, without pretension, on the part of the Writer, to any other merit than diligence and impartiality. Authors of different nations, ages, religions, and politics, have been carefully read, compared, and, as far as might be, employed for reciprocal correction. Where contradictory state ments have involved particular points in uncertainty, the different prejudices and partialities of different Historians have been weighed; the agreement or disagree ment of their several accounts, as well with universally admitted facts, as with the general tenor of their own and their antagonists' relations, has been examined and, according to the result of such inquiries, the narrative has been compiled from the various Authorities consulted, as each has appeared to be most consonant with truth or probability. The task, though laborious, has brought with it its own reward; inasmuch as the History of the Spanish Peninsula affords a variety of interest, unparalleled in the annals of most other countries. The lofty and daring character of the people. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
