Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from From Waterloo to the Peninsula, Vol. 2 of 2: Four Months Hard Labour in Belgium, Holland, Germany, and Spain Duly installed in an upper chamber of the Fonda de los Principes, commanding a full view of the Puerta del Sol, and having hastily ascertained, from the breakfast of which I was entitled to partake, that there is such a thing as garlic in Spanish cookery, I proceeded to devote myself to the object of the mission which had brought me some fifteen hundred miles across Continental Europe. I set about investigating the state and prospects of the "insurrection in Spain;" but I speedily found that there was no insurrection to investigate, and that its prospects for the present were in nubibus. There had been some trouble, but it was over. I was in at the death. The insurrection has not been stamped out. Indeed, those who were deputed to extinguish it seemed to have given the conflagration a discreetly wide berth; but it had flashed in the pan, burnt in the priming, and did not exist as an actual entirety any more. General Prim and his companions, certainly not five hundred in number, had crossed the frontier into Portugal and laid down their arms.
