Ups and Downs of Spanish Travel, by H. B. Graham

Bellingham (London Literary Society), are lively and amusing enough, but can scarcely claim to be more. The author takes us not only to Madrid, Malaga, Granada, the Escurial, and other places constantly visited by tourists, but also to the Balearic Isles, and his descriptions of life in Majorca will be new to most English readers. He quotes occasionally from previous writers on Spain, such as the Rev. H. J. Rose; but he may be glad to be reminded that the author of the inimitable "Spanish Ballads" was called, not " Lockhert" (as the name is spelt on page 50), but "Lockhart."
