Ferdinand and Isabella occasionally set up their pilgrim tabernacle on the declivity that overhangs the Manzanares. Charles V. Found the thin, fine air comforting to his gouty articula tions. But Philip II. Made it his court. It seems hard to conceive how a king, who had his choice of Lisbon, with its glorious harbour and unequalled communications; Seville, with its delicious climate and natural beauty; and Salamanca and Toledo, with their wealth of tradition, splendour of architecture, and renown of learning, should have chosen this barren mountain for his home, and the seat of his Empire. But when we know this monkish king, we wonder no longer. He chose Madrid simply because it was cheerless and bare and of ophthalmic ugliness.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Castilian, Vol. 3 of 3 Three times he had already risen, and draw ing towards the ponderous casement, surveyed the prospect round. The country lay buried in awful darkness - no sound of advancing troops was to be heard, and Ferrari again threw himself upon his couch, in anxious expectation of the morning. His mind was in a state of restless excitement; for he hailed as certain the ac complishment of his ardent wishes - of hopes, too long deferred.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKUnlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
