Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bridle Roads of Spain When you have made a mistake, generally the worst thing you can do is to enter into explanations; and when anybody begins with saying that something is generally inexpedient, you may be sure that he is, individually, and by special exception, going to do it himself. The reader will at once perceive that the Author of these pages, having rashly published a first, is now (perhaps still more rashly) about to apologize in a second edition. His work has met with, perhaps, more than its due proportion of literary notice, in which, as is usual, it has been praised and blamed for the same things by different critics. Under these circumstances, the Author would have been content to adopt the old expedient of accepting the praise and ignoring the blame, if there had not been one grave charge reiterated alike by reprovers and commenders (by these as "a serious blemish, which we the more regret from the many excellences," &c.; by those as the head and front of offending) - namely, the unscrupulous mixture of truth and fiction, which would mar a better book than," &c.
