Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Architect's Note-Book in Spain: Principally Illustrating the Domestic Architecture of That Country
Every record the pen and pencil of any accurate observer can preserve at this juncture of the fading glories of the past in Spain is, as it were, snatching a brand from the inevitable fire which has already consumed inestimable treasures upon its soil. It was to give a stamp of truth and authenticity to the few such records I might be enabled to make, that I determined to complete them in the actual presence as it were of the object illustrated.
