Excerpt from Elementary Spanish Prose Book This Spanish prose book has been prepared with these aims: To give the student a command of practical Spanish. Therefore only the most current locutions and vocabulary are introduced. These are used repeatedly while as the book progresses additional material is gradually and steadily worked in. To provide an elementary acquaintance with the life and customs of Spain and of Spanish America, as well as with the fundamental facts of the history, literature, and art of the Peninsula and of the republics of South America. The last fourteen chapters are devoted exclusively to countries of the New World. The method followed in the preparation of the book is based upon the belief that it is preferable to write a considerable amount of fairly easy Spanish than to attempt to write a small amount of difficult prose. It is hoped that instructors using the book will insist first upon a careful study of the model Spanish text at the beginning of each chapter. This may be treated in class in the many ways that any reading lesson in Spanish may be treated. The Repasos de Gramatica should be worked out preferably after a study of the Spanish text.

During the time that I have held the Taylorian Teachership of Spanish at Oxford, I have frequently received letters asking what there is to read in Spanish besides Cervantes and Calderon and what editions should be used. The present volume is intended to answer these questions, and to show the position occupied by the great writers in the general scheme of the literature of their country. The various divisions of the great subject have been exhaustively treated up to their several dates by Nicolas Antonio, Ticknor, Amador de los Rios, Schack and Wolf, to whose books I beg to acknowledge my many obligations, hoping at the same time that the present general sketch may be useful to the general reader, and to the beginner, and may serve as an introduction to more extensive works. I am aware that a few short extracts, however well chosen can give no adequate idea of the manner of a great writer or of the merits of a great book, and that translations, even by the most skilful hands, are wont to reproduce the defects rather than the beauties of their original. The extracts here printed are intended to relieve the monotony of a long list of short notices of authors, and to illustrate the development of the language and progress of literary method; they are, as far as possible, characteristically Spanish in subject and, it is hoped, of sufficient interest to induce readers to refer to the books from which they are taken
