Transcriber's Note: This work is by Robert Southey. It is a fictitious account of an imaginary Spanish nobleman travelling through England. Obvious printer errors have been corrected. Hyphenation has been rationalised. Inconsistent spelling (including accents and capitals) has been retained. On page 180 "the" has been inserted in the phrase "axioms of commercial policy are not understood by the people", this being consistent with other editions of the text. LETTERS |
