By Dr. HANS GADOW, M.A., Ph.D., F.R.S.
“Some years back ‘Wild Spain,’ one of the best books of its kind, made you desirous of knowing more of the country. And Hans Gadow has deepened this feeling in his excellent volume ‘In Northern Spain,’ and that to an enormous extent. Dwelling at inn or farm, or in their own tent, they saw the country as it has been seen but rarely, and they came to know the inhabitants as they can be known in no other fashion.”—Black and White.
“Dr. Gadow fills his pages with shrewd and kindly observation of the people, their habits and ways of living, with vivid records of the sport he enjoyed in the mountains, and with much incidental information.”—The Times.
“It is a mine of information on the history, the customs, and the physical conditions of the country.”—The Bookman.
“To persons visiting the provinces with which the author deals, this book will be invaluable, and will do more to point their attention to objects of interest than existing guide-books of Spain, most of which are out of date.”—The Field.
“A most comprehensive and practical volume.”—Academy.
“An appendix contains valuable etymological notes on geographical names and surnames and domestic implements. The preface may be studied with advantage by any lady traveller inclined to wander off the beaten track. The book is copiously illustrated, and furnished with a good map and index.—Daily News.
“About the best book of European travel that has appeared these many years.”—Literary World.
