... Spain is a miscellany of photographs, literary criticism, familiar essays (for example, “The Difficulty of being Spanish”), art criticism, appendices of useful information, and telescoped history. Although the authors are a man and a woman, the pronoun “ I ” is prevalent, and the reader is invited...

... a book, and not a very weighty pamphlet at that, printed in large type. There is some ground for suspicion of padding. Ironically, and despite its title, the work itself is not well integrated. Its table of contents constitutes a miscellany rather than an organized whole. Moreover, it announces...

... a miscellany of addresses delivered in connection with diverse ceremonial and commemorative occasions. Among these October 12th, or the Día de la Raza, stands out as the day in which the peoples of the Spanish-speaking world pay homage to the great discoverer and inaugurator of the Americas, and offer...

..., political subordination, and helplessness. The whole is a personal and unscientific but very humane and persuasive treatment. The illustrations are principally of modern Indian life in different parts of the Republic. What gives this miscellany its unity is the frank spirit of indigenismo...

.... This is the translation into English of a work considered to be of some consequence in South America, its title being El Lazarillo de Ciegos Caminantes .

...Ronald C. Newton The argument for multiple causation has never been set out more effectively. Any evaluation of the work must necessarily be on its own terms. The method is deductive ( a priori premises being citations from a curious miscellany of Argentine and European writers); the style...

... and the money brokers of Antwerp, its stormy history dominated by memories of urban and noble particularism, its central administration only a few years old, this dynastic miscellany defies all generalizations. Even without the added strains of war, royal bankruptcy, recession, and growing heresy...

... of essays by different authors tend to be miscellanies, whatever their title. This volume keeps strictly to its theme. David Robinson’s introduction stresses the fairly steady movement of people of all classes and races, carefully differentiating among the factors that moved them. Records are sometimes good...

... interviews with major political leaders (56 interviewees are listed) and a broad miscellany of secondary works and party documents.

... mass of Inca and non-Inca Peruvian miscellany somewhat like a farmer’s almanac or a medieval bestiary. Baudin insists on calling the Peruvian Indian “mystical” and then almost in the same breath “utilitarian.” Such generalizations are unfortunate. Inca culture was ceremonial, warlike, dour...

..., though all the pieces were presented at a single colloquium in Mexico City, it was not organized to survey the field of quantitative studies nor to sample methods, subjects, or even periods.

... anteriores legislaturas porque se oye alli [ sic ] mejor lo que se habla” (IV, 485).
