Excerpt from A History of Spain, Vol. 1 of 2 The following little work was written to supply the want of a popular History of Spain, such as might be put into the hands of young persons. It was at first intended to model it after Mrs. Markham's excellent little History of England, but some objections presented themselves of sufficient weight in the author's estimation to induce her to change that plan for another which has been adopted. The principal authorities consulted for that part of the history which precedes the union of the crowns of Castile and Arragon are Mariana's History of Spain, and Conde's curious translations and compilations from the Arabic historians, but the several chronicles of the kings, as well as the Coronica de los Moros and Cardonne, with various others, have been consulted. It would not be difficult to multiply the names of books referred to, but these were the most used for the period in question.
