“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 comprise 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.
“No one could either pretend to write or converse upon this country without preparing himself by a previous perusal of this instructive work.”—Metropolitan.
