Excerpt from Biographical and Critical
As many of the pieces in this volume are the result of more care than is usually bestowed on periodical writing, and as they embrace a range of study very different from that by which Mr. Prescott has been hitherto known as an author, it is thought that the republication of them in this form will be acceptable to his countrymen. The publishers have taken care that the mechanical execution of the book shall be uniform with that of his historical works.
In addition to the matter published in the former editions of these "Miscellanies," will now be found an article of considerable length upon Spanish Literature, which appeared in the "North American Review" for January, 1850. It forms the last in the series of essays.
