A HISTORY of SPANISH LITERATURE. With Criticism on Particular
Works, and Biographical Notices of Prominent Writers. By GEORGE
TICKNOR, Esq.
"Ticknor's 'History of Spanish Literature' is a masterly
work."--_Alex. von Humboldt._
"A record which will be read with general satisfaction, and will
be lastingly valued for reference."--_Quarterly Review._
"The excellent 'History of Spanish Literature.'"--_Lord Mahon's
Address to the Society of Antiquaries._
"A masterly performance, and which perhaps, of all compositions
of the kind, has the most successfully combined popularity of
style with sound criticism and extensive research."--_Edinburgh
Review._
"It is a history in the better sense--dealing with men as well as
books, and eliciting, from the facts of literary production, the
higher truths of social civilisation. There is nothing to compare
with it on the subject of which it treats, and we may safely
predict that it is likely to hold its ground as a standard book
in English literature."--_Examiner._
"The masterly sweep of his general grasp, and the elaborated
finish of his constituent sketches."--_Morning Chronicle._
