BY CAPTAIN S. E. COOK, R.N. K.T.S. F.G.S.
Two vol. 8vo. price 21s.
"Volumes of great value and attraction; we would say, in a word, they afford us the most complete account of Spain in every respect which has issued from the press."—Literary Gazette.
"The value of the book is in its matter and its facts. If written upon any country it would have been useful, but treating of one like Spain, about which we know almost nothing, but of which it is desirable to know so much, Captain Cook's Sketches must be considered an acquisition to the library."—Spectator.
"These volumes, the work of a gentleman of high and varied accomplishments, whose opportunities of observation have been unusually extensive and well-improved, will command and repay attention. They contain by far the best account of Spain that has yet issued from the press.
"These volumes comprize every point worthy of notice, and the whole is so interspersed with lively adventure and description; so imbued with a kindly spirit of good-nature, courting and acknowledging attention, as to render it attractive reading."—United Service Gazette.
"Approbation can be the only sentiment which this well-written and deeply-searching book must elicit. No one could either pretend to write or converse upon this country without preparing himself by a previous perusal of this instructive work."—Metropolitan.
To be completed in Four Volumes,
THE LIFE OF THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON,
With an Appendix; containing an Examination of Sir Walter Scott's "Life of Napoleon Bonaparte:" and a Notice of the principal Errors of other Writers, respecting his Character and Conduct.
