“Lovers of good literature, and cheap, may be commended to the ‘Minerva Library’ edition of ‘The Bible in Spain.’”—The Saturday Review.
“That wonderfully interesting and too little known work ‘The Bible in Spain.’ . . . Borrow’s literary style is faultless, and his keen powers of observation were employed to excellent purpose. With 400 pages and several illustrations, the volume is a striking illustration of the cheap form in which our leading publishers can serve up the best examples of English literature.”—Sheffield Telegraph.
“The manner in which Spanish life is photographed and the circumstantial narration of incidents occurring in a time particularly eventful for Spain, are in themselves sufficient to secure for the book a permanent place in our literature.”—Manchester Examiner.
“‘The Bible in Spain’ is one of the most interesting works ever written, and has been pronounced to be ‘a genuine book,’ abounding in life-like pictures of Spain and Portugal, and recording also many romantic adventures.”—The Newcastle Chronicle.
