Excerpt from Gatherings From Spain Richard Ford, who, under the prosaic title of "A Handbook for Travellers in Spain," composed one of the most entrancing itineraries ever written in the English tongue, was born at Chelsea in the year 1796. He was the eldest son of a distinguished father, Sir Richard Ford, the friend of Pitt, and sometime Under Secretary of State for the Home Department, but better known perhaps as the Bow Street magistrate who created the mounted police force of London. Ford underwent the approved training of a young English gentleman at public school and university, took his degree at Oxford, qualified for the bar, and in 1824 married the beautiful Harriet Capel, daughter of the Earl of Essex. Six years later, the delicate state of his wife's health made residence in a warmer climate imperative, and in the autumn of 1830 he took ship for Gibraltar, accompanied by "three children and four women." After twenty days' sail the family reached port, and soon were housed at Seville for the winter. From thence and from Granada (where he was lodged amid the ruined splendours of the Alhambra) he made those journeyings through the length and breadth of the peninsula, which bore fruit in the pages of the "Handbook" and of the "Gatherings from Spain." Ford was an ideal traveller. In his home an atmosphere of art and literature had surrounded him, for his mother. Lady Ford, was an excellent amateur painter, a lover of pictures, and of cultivated and catholic tastes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside Gatherings From Spain: Look inside the book: Nature has provided commensurate outlets for the infinite productions of a country which is rich alike in everything that is to be found either on the face or in the bowels of the earth; for the mines and quarries abound with precious metals and marbles, from gold to iron, from the agate to coal, while a fertile soil and every possible variety of climate admit of unlimited cultivation of the natural productions of the temperate or tropical zones: thus in the province of Granada the sugar-cane and cotton-tree luxuriate at the base of ranges which are covered with eternal snow: a wide range is thus afforded to the botanist, who may ascend by zones, through every variety of vegetable strata, from the hothouse plant growing wild, to the hardiest lichen. ...The Moorish geographer Alrasi was the first to take difference of climate as the rule of dividing the Peninsula into distinct portions; and modern authorities, carrying out this idea, have drawn an imaginary line, which runs north-east to south-west, thus separating the Peninsula into the northern, or the boreal and temperate, and the southern or the torrid, and subdividing these two into four zones: nor is this division altogether fanciful, for there is no caprice or mistake in tests derived from the vegetable world; manners may make man, but the sun alone modifies the plant: man may be fused down by social appliances into one uniform mass, but the rude elements are not to be civilized, nor can nature be made cosmopolitan, which heaven forfend. About Richard Ford, the Author: He was the eldest son of Benjamin Booth's daughter and heiress, who married Sir Richard Ford, an MP in 1789 and for many years chief police magistrate of London. ...In the summer of 1851, Richard Ford married his third wife, Mary Ford, née Molesworth, (1816-1910), who was a daughter of Sir Arscott Ourry Molesworth, 7th Baronet (1789-1823).
