Excerpt from Letters From Spain in 1856 and 1857 The only apology which the author can seriously make for adding one to the multitude of slight books on Spain is, that, having some practice in this kind of writing, and habits of labour to which the exercise was congenial, he has been able, in the daily course of travelling, to fix while they were recent, and to throw promptly into narrative and description, the impressions made upon his mind by new scenes and new manners, in a land teeming with beauty and still rich in originality: the images have been given before they were obscured by time, or confused with ideas subse quently acquired: and if this has been done with apparent truth and with some freshness of effect, the work may have a feature which will entitle it to be looked at among the crowd.

Letters to Richard Heber Esq. Containing Critical Remarks on the Series of Novels Beginning With "Waverley" and an Attempt to Ascertain Their Author
(This historic book may have numerous typos and missing te...)
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1822. Excerpt: ... LETTER VIII. Day-light and champian discovers not more: this is open. Twelfth NiglU, Act II. Sc. 4. Thou art a blessed fellow, to think as every man thinks. Henry IV. Part II. Act II. Sc. 2. From the incidents themselves, we should now proceed to the manner in which they are embellished by description; but a great part of the observations belonging to this subject has been anticipated in the preceding pages. I have still, however, to point out a few remarkable instances of similarity not hitherto noticed. The battle scenes of the two writers are no less admirable for variety than for magnificence of imagery; but there are two or three prominent circumstances which occur with peculiar frequency. In most instances the conflict is described as seen by persons looking down upon it from a commanding point, and not mixed in the tumult themselves. The situation of Morton and his companions at Loudon-hill , and of Queen Mary, Seyton, and Graeme, at Crookstone-f-, are precisely the same Tales of My Landlord, First Series, vol. iii. ch. 4. f Abbot, vol. iii. ch. 10. with that of the Lady and two squires at Flodden : the first shock of battle at Bannockburn is witnessed by Edith from the Gillies-hill f; Rebecca watches the attack on Torquilstone from a window of the castle J; and Allan-bane looks down upon the battle of Bear-an-duiue from a height overhanging the Trosachs§. The natural and sublime comparison of hostile ranks engaging to an agitated sea, is introduced in the four passages last referred to, in Risingham's narrative of the battle of MarstonMoor , in the description of the British line charging at Waterloo 5T, and in the account of a similar movement by the French, in Paul's Letters. An approaching body of troops is likened to a dark cloud ft-'God...
