The picture represents his coffin being opened in the pre- 

 sence of San Bruno ; and the supposed saint, with his hair 

 on end, and his features distorted into the most agonising 

 expression, is explaining to his former fraternity some fatal 

 mistake in their system. There are sundry familiar spirits 

 from limbo attending in the capacity of sheriffs' officers — 

 very quaint devils. The pictures are curious and spirited : 

 some of the faces very well painted : but the artist evidently 

 never studied anatomy or perspective, and his drawing is 

 generally out of proportion. 



We have given up the idea of going back to the ferias at 

 Seville, and the Holy Week. We should lose a long while 

 going back ; as it is, we shall miss Cordova, vi^hich we 

 ought to have seen. But Harry is in a hurry to move 

 northwards.
