Book Description

Excerpt from Revelations of Spain in 1845, Vol. 1 of 2 The first six months of 1845 will be for ever memorable in the legislative annals of Spain, as having been marked by most important and extensive reforms in the Constitution of 1837 - changes so vast and so threatening to liberty, and at the same time so apparently definitive, as to merit still more than our own Reform Act, the name of a Revolution. The strong position accorded to the Spanish Church of re endowment with real property, and the several events which found their completion last month, in the close of the Cortes and the promulgation of the Con stitutional Reform, combine to give to this second edition, the character of almost a new and substantive work. About one hundred original pages have been added, embodying in the various chapters, under the fitting heads, a careful analysis of all the late constitutional and legislative reforms, and a com pletion of the History to the present hour. Amidst a quantity of new and interesting matter. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
