Excerpt from History of Spanish and Portuguese Literature, Vol. 1 of 2: Spanish Literature The subdivisions of the following volume corres pond with periods marked out by certain revolutions in taste, produced by the rise of eminent writers, or by other influential circumstances. These epochs in literary cul tivation form convenient restin g places for the student, and contribute to exhibit, in a clear point of view, the circumstances by which the advancement of polite learning has been accelerated or retarded. The specimens, which are numerous, and a great portion of which are selected from very scarce works, form a valuable collection f or the use of the literary student, and cannot fail to prove highly acceptable to the more advanced lovers of Spanish lite rature. For a general and comprehensive knowledge of that literature they will be found amply sufficient, and to those who wish to pursue its study more in detail, they will afford most useful assistance. In such a course of study, great advantage may also be derived from the numerous bibliographical notes which the author has in troduced, and which are therefore scrupulously retained in the translation.
