_British Weekly._--"The Spanish Series provides an indispensable set of guide-books for the ever-increasing company of tourists in the Peninsula.... These handsomely produced volumes may be recommended to students of Spanish history and art, and to every intending traveller in Spain."
_Queen._--" ... Mr. CALVERT'S purpose is to make readily available to the ordinary English reader and traveller information which guide-books necessarily do not supply. The work involved in the collection of data must have been very great. He utilises his material with real literary skill, and there is not one of these books which is not equally pleasing and instructive to read. But their dominant feature, which puts them above and beyond all others in interest and educational value, is the wealth of their illustrations.... No country has ever been illustrated so completely. The richness of Spain in Moorish and Gothic monuments is incredible, and Mr. CALVERT has made them his special study...."
_Sketch._--"These volumes, handsomely bound in the familiar red-and-gold colours of Spain, are calculated to give English readers a most comprehensive survey of this fascinating land, and to convey a clear idea of its historic greatness. The get-up of the books is in every way worthy of a series of this magnitude--a series which, as one reviewer has said, could not have been carried out by another living author...."
_Liverpool Courier._--"Mr. CALVERT, who is responsible for this curiously interesting series, is doing a remarkable work for Spain.... He is a good, honest craftsman, with a fine enthusiasm for his subject, and he is content to set things before us in a straightforward way. His writing is always readable, so that the service he does in describing for us the treasures of Spain, and that nation's great personalities, is really very considerable...."
