"His boundless and inexhaustible fertility of invention, his quick power of seizing and prosecuting everything with dramatic effect, the unfailing animal spirits of his dramas, if we may venture on the expression, the general loftiness and purity of his sentiments, the rich faculty of his verse, the abundance of his language, and the clearness and precision with which he embodies himself in words and figures, entitle him to a high rank as to the imagination and creative faculty of a poet."

"In his dramas of a serious and devout character, in virtue of their dignified pathos, tragic sublimity, and religious fervour, Calderon's best title to praise may be found. In such, above all in his 'AUTOS,' he reached a height beyond any of his predecessors; whose productions, on religious themes especially, striking as many of them are, with situations and motives of the deepest effect, are not sustained at the same impressive elevation, nor disposed with that consummate judgment which leaves nothing imperfect or superfluous in the dramas of Calderon. It remains to say a word of his style. It varies at different periods; and in his best time is perhaps the perfection of splendid elegance. His poetic vein is exuberant beyond example in its flow of rich imagery; so copious and discursive, indeed, that it seems ever on the verge of excess in passages of dis play,and is apt to be indulged in these at the expense of strict dramatic propriety.'

Dozy, in his "Récherches," brings forward several documents respecting this hero, one of which, written by Ibn Bassam, at Seville, A.D. 1109, only ten years after his death, rests in a great measure on the testimony of one who had seen the Cid. From this it appears that he was at one time in the service of the Moorish kings of Zaragoza, and upon capturing the city of Valentia, he burnt the Kadi and several other influential citizens alive. "La victoire," says Ibn Bassam, as translated by Dozy," suivant toujours la bannière de Rodrigue (que Dieu maudisse!) il triompha des princes des Barbares; à differentes reprises il combattit leurs chefs; alors il mit en fuite leurs armées, et tua avec son petit nombre de guerriers, leurs nombreux soldats." 810 RISCO, la Castilla y el mas famoso Castellano.

"The author who has related the principal events in our early history with most learning and fidelity, and to the best advantage, and who deserves to be read more than once with the utmost at tention, is Geronimo de Zurita, and I do not think anything more is necessary in order to acquire a sufficient knowledge of our history."-The Marquis of Mondexar, in his Noticia y juicio de los mas principales historiadores de Espana. Zurita examined and used all the Documents and State Papers scattered throughout the Spanish Dominions for his valuable history: the "Annals of Aragon" contain the History of Spain from the invasion of the country by the Arabs to 1516. "The whole work is more important to Spanish history than any that had preceded it. It has hardly anything of the monkish credulity of the old chronicles, for Zurita was a man of the world. It shows not unfrequently a generosity of opinion on political subjects remarkable in a secretary of Philip II. and Inquisitor."-Ticknor, III. 129.

Faber, a German, (consul to the Hanse Towns) collected the finest Spanish Library ever brought together by an individual. After his death, the Spanish Government would not allow the books to be exported, although unable to pay for them at the time. They were incorporated with the Royal Library, at Madrid; and the last instalment of the purchase money reached the executors at Hamburgh, in 1842, after a lapse of ten years. "The Collection is very rich and various; and Faber has displayed much taste in making it : on the whole, no other approaches it. It is an invaluable book.
