PRESS NOTICES 



:< The making of this book must 

 surely have been a veritable labour of 

 love ; and love's labour has certainly 

 not been lost." Pall Mall Gazette. 



" The best age of Moorish architec- 

 ture in Spain is shown with remarkable 

 vividness and vitality." The Scotsman. 



" A most gorgeous book. . . . We 

 cheerfully admit Mr. CALVERT into 

 the ranks of those whom posterity will 

 applaud for delightful yet unprofitable 

 work." Outlook. 



"A large and sumptuous volume." 



Tribune. 



"The illustrations are simply marvels 

 of reproduction." Dundee Advertiser. 



" One of the books to which a simple 

 literary review cannot pretend to do 

 justice." Spectator. 



" A special feature of a work of 

 peculiar interest and value are the 

 illustrations." Newcastle Chronicle. 



" The illustrations are given with a 

 minuteness and faithfulness of detail, 

 and colour, which will be particularly 

 appreciated and acknowledged by those 

 who are most acquainted with the 

 subject themselves." Liverpool Post. 



" It is impossible to praise too highly 

 the care with which the illustrations 

 have been prepared." 



Birmingham Daily Post. 



" It is illustrated with so lavish a 

 richness of colour that to turn its pages 

 gives one at first almost the same 

 impresssion of splendour as one receives 

 in wandering from hall to hall of the 

 Alcazar of Seville ; and this is prob- 

 ably the highest compliment we could 

 pay to the book or its author." 



A cademy. 



" It is certainly one of the most 

 interesting books of the year." Crown.

 and harmony of colour can scarcely be

 ful work." Daily Telegraph.
