Seymour, Frederick H. A. Saunterings in Spain. **$3. Dutton.
7–35147.
The “saunterings” include Barcelona, Madrid, Toledo, Cordova, Seville, and Granada. “The introduction giving an historical sketch of the Moorish occupation of Spain is a noteworthy tribute to remarkable people who shed light upon European art and science at a time when Europe was ‘in that slough of despond which we term “the dark ages.”’” (Sat. R.) “The book is essentially for the journey and not the fireside.” (Nation.)
“The historical sketch is good and concise, the description commonplace, superficial and too personal.”
