Excerpt from Spain: Her Institutions, Politics, and Public Men Though the author did not occupy any recognized relation to the Spanish government, the nature of his duties, and the inter course and connections resulting from his position, afforded him many and excellent opportunities of knowledge and Observation. He does not profess to have availed himself of his advantages as fully as he might, had his duties been less engrossing; but he trusts it will be found that they have enabled him to give the work which follows a less ephemeral character than that of an ordinary book of travels. In the attempt to do this, he has sought to communicate, as far as practicable, such information in regard to Spain, as is not, to his knowledge, accessible elsewhere.

Severn Teackle Wallis was born in Baltimore, Md. , the second son of Philip and Elizabeth Custis (Teackle) Wallis, both descended from families long settled upon the Eastern Shore of Chesapeake Bay.
After attending private schools and St. Mary's College, Baltimore, where he graduated in 1832, he studied law in the office of William Wirt and of Judge John Glenn.
In 1837 was admitted to the bar. He was one of the founders of the Maryland Historical Society in 1844, and that same year became a corresponding member of the Royal Academy of History, Madrid; two years later he was admitted a fellow of the Royal Society of Northern Antiquities, Copenhagen. In 1847 he made his first visit to Spain, and in 1849, commissioned by the government to report upon the titles to public lands in Florida, he embarked upon his second visit. Both inspired literary productions. He proved a prolific writer, leaving addresses, verses, and criticisms which, when collected for publication by admiring friends, filled four volumes (Writings of Severn Teackle Wallis, Memorial Edition, 1896). He was a frequent contributor to the daily press, and his anonymous articles on current topics were often recognizable from their terseness, pungency, wit, and wealth of illustration. A Whig in early life, Wallis became a Democrat upon the disintegration of his party, but he was preëminently the reformer, never surrendering his personal independence of opinion. His first appearance as a candidate was in 1847, when he was defeated for the legislature. In 1851 he made an unsuccessful bid for the office of state's attorney, but in 1857 refused the post of district attorney proffered him by President Buchanan. He joined in the reform movement of 1858 in Baltimore, writing an influential address, and the following year was a member of the committee which drew up a series of reform bills adopted by the legislature in 1860; one of these measures was an election law which made possible a reform government for Baltimore. In 1861, after the struggle between the sections had brought open rupture, his sympathies were with the Confederacy, although he did not advocate secession. He was elected against his wishes a delegate to the special Assembly held at Frederick in April 1861, and as chairman of the Committee on Federal Relations of the House of Delegates, he expressed his views in several reports, arguing vigorously against the doctrine of military necessity. This action made him obnoxious to the Washington government, and along with other prominent Marylanders he was arrested in September and suffered imprisonment for fourteen months. His letters to the press in the heated campaign of 1875, when he supported the Reform ticket, are among the choicest of Maryland polemics. Subsequently, despite frail health, he participated actively in the campaigns of 1882 to 1887, in which his thoughtful eloquence was a powerful weapon. From 1892 until his death he was president of the Maryland Historical Society. He also served as president of the Civil Service Reform Association of Maryland and the Reform League of Baltimore.
