Side 221 - In the West, the Ommiades of Spain supported, with equal pomp, the title of commander of the faithful. Three miles from Cordova, in honour of his favourite sultana, the third and greatest of the Abdalrahmans constructed the city, palace, and gardens of Zehra.
Side 315 - Quijote, porque contempló y miró en él la amenidad de sus riberas, la claridad de sus aguas, el sosiego de su curso y la abundancia de sus líquidos cristales, cuya alegre vista renovó en su memoria mil amorosos pensamientos.
Side 236 - General History of the Lives and Adventures of the Most Famous Highwaymen, Murderers, Street Robbers, &c. To which is added, A Genuine Account of the Voyages and Plunders of the most Notorious Pyrates. Interspersed with several diverting Tales, and pleasant Songs, and adorned with the Heads of the Most Remarkable Villains, curiously Engraven.
