Excerpt from Sketches in Spain, Vol. 1: During the Years, 1829-30-31, 32
These sketches are a summary or digest of observations made during a residence of nearly three years in Spain, with the exception of a few weeks during the heats. Some of the various subjects were originally objects of enquiry, and others offered themselves as acquaintance with the country gave increased facilities of examination. There will be found descriptive tours in various parts, some of which are very little known even to the natives, and have never been noticed by the travellers who have given accounts of the country, and have generally followed pretty nearly the same track with each other.
An analysis of the mode of governing, which is very little known out of Spain, and the strange composition of different branches of the government The military and civil branches of administration, the clergy and monks, and ecclesiastical establishment, and revenues. The manners of the people. The robbers, and system pursued by that race of people.
