It seems to me that there is room for a work of this design and scope, and that there is no reason why so attractive a subject—or rather, group of subjects—should be perpetually ignored by persons who travel through, or who profess to feel an interest in, the country of the Cid and of Don Quixote. My account of Spanish pottery is guarded, and yet I trust accepta...

And it is owing to recent excavation that we are now in a position to elucidate the early history of the three principal civilizations of the anc...
