About This Book

A travel narrative recounts journeys through Spain and Morocco, detailing encounters with Arab domestic life and hunting boars, descriptions of rural industries and the environmental decline caused by cork-stripping, and visits to baths, desert clans, and Jewish communities in Barbary. It examines local food customs and domestic crafts, records landscapes and antiquities including druidical circles near Tangier, and follows travel from Rabat through El Garb to Tangier and Seville. Extended sections describe Seville’s island and cathedral, evaluate Spanish painting and dance, and trace architectural connections among Moorish, Gothic, and ancient Canaanite forms.

Transcriber’s Note

This book was written in a period when many words had not become standardized in their spelling. Words may have multiple spelling variations or inconsistent hyphenation in the text. These have been left unchanged.

Footnotes were renumbered sequentially and were moved to the end of the chapter. Footnote [390] has two anchors.

Obvious printing errors, such as backwards, upside down, missing or partially printed letters, were corrected. Final stops missing at the end of sentences and abbreviations were added. Duplicate words were removed.

Two pages of advertisements were moved from the front to the end of the book. Transliterations are provided as inserts for words or phrases in Greek.
