Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of Old New Spain He who goes westward from the City of Mexico goes out by the gate of the Tlaxpana, and so along the causeway to Tacuba; the very path over which the Spaniards passed, leaving many killed and of the living nearly all being sore wounded, when they fled from the city that dismal night more than three hundred and fifty years ago. But this now is a very pleasant path; for on the right and on the left of it are fertile fields and trimly kept gardens, and shading it are many great green trees. And only a little way out upon it is the village of San Antonio, built of gray-brown adobe on the level land beside the causeway, and peopled by certain ragged, uncared-for, easy-going descendants of the race that now serves where once it ruled.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Spain in New America The Home Mission text book of necessity confines itself to a study of those groups which live under the Stars and Stripes, i. E., the Mexicans living in the United States, and the Spanish speaking peoples of Porto Rico and Cuba. The latter group, being under the protection of this country, has been accepted as Home Mission territory by most of the denominations and is, therefore, included here. Believing that the Christian Church must be mightily aroused as to its responsibility for the Spanish speak ing peoples of the continents, so that spiritual growth may keep pace with material development, the Council of Women for Home Missions, representing the Women's Home Mission Boards of sixteen denomina tions, prayerfully sends forth this little book, trusting that through its agency there may be awakened a more responsive interest in those peoples who represent old spain in new america.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rise of the Spanish Empire, Vol. 1: In the Old World and in the New The history of Spain is one of the most attractive fields that lie open to the historical student. Its variety is infinite, and the possibilities of new and important discoveries are unexhausted. To most Americans the principal interest of the subject will inevitably centre around Spain's activities as a great conquering and colonizing power; for the increased importance of the countries of Iberian origin has been perhaps the most remarkable political and economic fact in the recent development of the Western Hemisphere. Popular attention has been focussed as never before on their language, government, and commerce during the past twenty years; and much progress has also been made in the line of historical investigation. The labors of writers and students, however, have thus far been directed chiefly to the more recent periods of the Revolutions and of national independence. The long centuries of colonial administration have been less thoroughly explored, and the history of Spain herself, which forms the background for the entire picture, has not hitherto been considered from the standpoint of the great Empire which spring from her. The following pages are an attempt to supply this deficiency. It is my purpose to carry the story, in four volumes, down to the death of Philip II, under whose rule the Spanish Empire attained its greatest territorial extent, through the annexation of Portugal and of her dominions.

This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 828 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rise of the Spanish Empire in the Old World and in the New, Vol. 4: Philip the Prudent The composition of this final volume of my Rise of the Spanish Empire has been spread over a period of nine years, and has suffered from constant interruptions; but I can truthfully say that I have spent much more time and labor on it than on any of its predecessors, and that it is based to a far greater extent than were they, on manuscript sources. I hope, some day, to be permitted to fortify its conclusions by the publication of a number of documents, which I have collected during the past twenty years in the archives of Spain, France, and England, and prepared for the press. The possibilities of new discoveries in this field are still infinite, and it is as inexplicable as it is unfortunate that more English and American scholars are not tempted to explore them. I trust that the appearance, during the last five years, of four different lives of Philip II (ci. Infra, p. 75) all in rather lighter vein will not deter prospective readers from the perusal of the somewhat solider pages Which follow. The program Which I set myself to carry out When I began more than twenty years ago to write this book, committed me of necessity to painstaking analysis of many topics not in themselves dramatic; and I feel strongly that at the moment better service can be rendered, not only to scholars but also to the general reading public, by careful investi gation of the period as a whole, than by merely concentrating on the picturesque.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Queens of Old Spain IN a previous volume I have remarked upon the extremely small political significance of most of the Queen Consorts of England, although socially the country has become what it is mainly through feminine influence. In Spain the exact reverse has happened, and in no Christian country has the power of woman been less formative of the life and character of the nation, whilst, largely owing to personal and circum stantial accident, the share of ladies in deciding the political destinies of the country from the throne has been more conspicuous than in other European monarchies. The oriental traditions dominant in Spain for centuries tended to make wives the humble satellites rather than the equal companions of their husbands; and the inflated gallantry, before marriage at least, that sprang from the chivalrous obsession grafted upon mixed feudal and Islamic ideals, affected to exclude woman from the harder facts of existence, and from the practical problems that occupied the minds of men. But whilst these traditions limited the power of Spanish women generally, they were insufficient to counteract the extraordinary political influence of a series of remarkable feminine personalities who, mainly owing to feebleness and ineptitude of consorts, or to.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Spain The fact that this book is in great part a summary, or selection, from one of mine, as is stated in the Preface, makes it almost a duty for me to do what would in any event be a great pleasure in the case of a work by Professor Chap man. I refer to the duty of writing a few paragraphs by way Of introduction. But, at the same time, this circum stance causes a certain conflict of feelings in me, since no one, unless it be a pedant, can act so freely in self-criticism as he would if he were dealing with the work of another. Fortunately, Professor Chapman has incorporated much of his own harvest in this volume, and to that I may refer with entire lack Of embarrassment.
