Book Description

Excerpt from History of Spain, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Earliest Times to the Death of Ferdinand the Catholic Tm: history of Spain, better than that of any other European country, enables the philosophical historian to trace the con catenation of causes and effects in the life of a nation, and thus not only to demonstrate the scientific basis of his own teaching, but also to draw the deductions and conclusions failing which the study of history would be useless as an aid to wisdom. This peculiarity, and the geographical and ethno logical reasons to which it may be mainly attributed, add infinitely to the fascination of Spanish history as a study, and to its usefulness as an introduction to the systematic teaching of the history of other countries whose national phenomena are more complicated and less Obviously connected with anterior facts.
