In a Preface to the second edition of his work

on Portugal and the Basque Provinces, Lord CARNARVON replies at length to the attack upon Isis views and statements made by the author of the Policy of England in Spain. Some of the points in dispute regard matters of fact, which either do not admit of the produc- tion of authorities, or upon which none are adduced; and the de- termination of these of course must depend upon the credit each mind may feel disposed to attach to the respective assertors. In points admitting of proof, or resting upon reasoning, we think the advantage inclines to the side of Lord CARNARYON.
