Your Excellency,
In putting forth this modest account of the Escorial, that marvellous monument to the Hapsburg dynasty, I beg to inscribe it to your Excellency, as a tribute of my esteem and an expression of admiration of your Excellency’s great work in the interests of Spain, and as historian of ‘The Relations between Spain and Austria during the Reign of the Empress Margaret.’
I am,
Your Excellency’s
Sincere and obliged,
ALBERT F. CALVERT.
