Evidence: | 'I found a good deal of amusement in looking over the engravings in a Spanish volume, called, I think, "The Visions of Don Quevedo". It was, of course, a book from which I could get but little information in the way of reading. The plates, however, told a tolerably clear story, and my host, who had learned something of the Spanish language, gave me such explanations as were necessary to my fully comprehending the meaning of the illustrations.' |
