During the PeDinsulsr war the constant grief was
that, with all their personal valor snd individual
potleDess, the Spaniards were too often an injury
to their own cause by the selfwn Of cliques and the
wrsneliDgs Of jnntas. The world viii be on the

feriDg has qualified them for better concert 10 the
PeLinsulsr war, sgain, the most satisfactory parties
to deal with were the peasants in the country and
the working class in the t0wns. In them, patriotism
was bright and genuine, inspiring fidelity and con
