'THE ARABIAN ANTIQUITIES of SPAIN.
1. By 'AMES CAVANAH MURPHy,Archirc..d.

Author' of the Designs and Description Of liatalha,&c.
Printed for T. Cadell and W. Davie, Strand,
The Work will be elegantly printed in large Folio, and
consist of about one hundred Plates. of the most interesting
Arabian Remains in Spain, such as the Royal Palace of ttic
Alhambra, the Generalife, the ireat Mosch olCorduva, Zec.'
which will be engraved in the most elegant and accurate
manner, 'trent Adrneasurements and Drawings carefully
made on the spot, by the Author, daring a residence of nine
years on the Continent. ..Descriptions will he given of the
clifferenf objeds, illustrating the merits of their style and
manner, ,togther with translations of the Cufic and Asiatic
Inscriptions, and several interesting particulars relating to
the Arabs and their establishments in Spain, colleted from
the most authentic Spanish Writers.
It will be completed in Four Parts, published separately ;
the Copies of each Part will be delivered according to the
dates of Orders received, 'for which a book is now opened by
Messrs. Cadell and. Davies.
file Conquest of Spain by the Arabian's, in the Eighth
Century, is one of the most important' events recorded in
History ; and may be just i y considered as having, in a great
degree, contributed 'to the rapid progress of Civilization,
Navigation., and Commerce. At a time when the rest of
Europe was sunk in rudeness and .snperstition, Sciences;
Arts, and Industry, flourished among She SpaniSh Arabs,' as
the numerous remains of their Works in Andalusia, and other
parts of the Peninsula, plainly evince ; these are doubtless
the most curious specimens or art exii.ting; differing, in point
of invention and execution, from what Is to be found LI any
Other part of Europe, as much almost as if their Authors had
been inhabitants of another Planet. Faithful delineations..
therefore, of these valuable Renuins, cannot fail to prove
highly acceptable to the Philosopher, the Antiquary, and
the Ldver 01 the Fine Arts.
