Excerpt from History of the Dominion of the Arabs in Spain, Vol. 2 of 3 When we undertook to supervise the History of the Dominion of the Arabs in Spain, we were far from apprehending that the Second Volume, now about to be laid before the reader, would not make its appearance during the lifetime of its Author: yet so has it been determined in the decrees of an All-wise Providence.
