Excerpt from The Spanish Revolution 1868-1875
Let no one fear that this act means our estrange ment from the army, or that we are impelled by selfish motives. If to - day we humble mariners rush forth to take the place of others who have a greater claim, we do this in obedience to pressing motives. Let the others come to our aid; let not only the army but the statesmen and the people seize the banner which we have unfurled. Of all we make only one demand, a place of honour in the combat. This and the satisfaction of our own consciences am the sole rewards to which we aspire.

Excerpt from The Spanish Revolution 1868-1875
The Revolution of 1868 is the most interesting period in the modem history of Spain. It marks the transition from the Spain of Ferdinand VII. and Isabella II. the Spain of Alfonso XII. and the Regency avid it forms at the same time an episode entirely distinct from the history which precedes and follows it. This sketch was written in the early part of 1893 from materials collected during my residence in Madrid from 1888 to 1890 as Secretary of the United States Legation with the intention at some future day of making it a part of a larger work. The manuscript was laid aside when I re-entered the public service in Aprils 1893, On my return from South America a short time ago I read the manuscript again and it seemed to me that it might be of interest at this time. In preparing the book for the press, I have been indebted to the continuous helpfulness of my friend, Mr. Lindsay Swift, of the Boston Public Library. Although, as I have said, the history of the Revolution stands apart from the periods before and after, and although the aims of its promoters were doomed to failure, it is but just to remember that the Revolution bore good fruit in the improved method of government which has distinguished the reign of Alfonso XII. and the Regency, and in the twenty years of tranquillity enjoyed by the country from the date of the Restoration to the breaking out of the insurrection in Cuba.
