add to cart   close window

The article critically apprises the book "Chapters From the Religious History of Spain, Connected With the Inquisition," by Henry Charles Lea. Lea has worked out with valuable material for this book. Lea puts his weightiest chapter first in his account of the censorship of the press. In more than 200 pages devoted to this subject, he traces the development of the Spanish practice from the sporadic attempts to regulate the people's reading in the middle ages, down to the rudimentary state censorship. The rest of the volume is taken up with masses of citations from the history of Spanish mysticism, witchcraft and vagaries of superstition connected with persecutions of the Jews.
