Excerpt from Letters Written During a Journey in Spain, Vol. 1 of 2: And a Short Residence in Portugal IN the following letters I have related what I have seen. Of the anecdotes with Which they abound, there are none of which I myself doubt the authenticity. There are no disquisi tions on commerce and politics; I have given facts, and the Reader may comment for himself. The book is written with scrupulous veracity; I have never in 'the slightest instance enlivened the narrative by deviating from plain truth.
