Excerpt from The Spaniards and Their Country, Vol. 2 of 2 Since the death of Ferdinand VII. Marvellous improvements have taken place in some fondant In the changes and chances of the multitudinous revolutions, all parties ruled in their rotation, and then either killed or banished their opponents. Thus royal ists, liberal, patriots, moderates, &c., , each in their turn, have been expatriated and as the wheel of fortune and politics went round, many have turned to their beloved Spain from bitter exile in France and England. These travellers, in many cases, were sent abroad for the public good, since they were thus ena. Bled to discover that some things are better managed on the other side of the water and Pyrenees. Then and there suspicion crossed their minds, although they seldom will admit it to a for. Eigner, that Spain was not altogether the richest, wisest, strongest, and first of nations, but that she might take a hint or two in a few tri¿es, among which perhaps the accommodations for man and beast might be included. The ingress, again, of foreigners by the facilities offered to travellers by the increased novelties of steamers, mails, and diligence necessarily called for more waiters and inns. Every day, therefore, the fermentation occa. Sioned by the foreign leaven is going on, and if the national music, or grape-juice, be not over-drugged with French brandy, something decent in smell and taste may yet be produced.
