santa romeria los hombres ilustrados J
pudientes de todos los paises que han
tenido la dicha de saborear la profunda
filosoffa & in6nitas gracias de aquel IL
bro, parto suplime del ingenio humane
con la casa en- que ell ilustre Rivade-
neira creyo deber estereotipar su magni-
flea edicion del Mgeaioso Hidalgo; con
la casa, en- fin, que otros pueblos tai yez
conservatism cuidadosamente bajo una
inmensa campana de cristal, que preser-
vase de la destruction Y legase q las
edades futuras ese recuerdo, undo DOR
tan estrechos lazos la gloria iRpere-
cedera de una de las mas vastas ineli-
gencias que ha producido la humnli-
dad.
la oisuel de Cervaates Sc derruniba
por ntomentos, sus muros de tierla Sc
desploman dentro de POGO tiempo,s 10
que debiera ser un monumento de g.lo-
ria, sera un monton de ruinas. Va en-
ell pasado ano dimos la voz de ala1na,
voz indtil que Sc perdio para unos en-
el clamoreo de las pasiones politiclss, y
para otros en- el silencio del indifsreE-
tismo, que todo 10 esteriliza
Ese historico edifcio, abandonado
siempre su propio destino, fue ad4ui-
dido por S. A. r. ell infante d. Sebas-
tian, con ell Nprop6sito, sin duda, de
restaurarle y conservarle dignamente.
Los disturbies polfftticos priinero, ! ysu
musfte mas tarde, impidieron que Sc
reaGzase tan noble y patri6tico proyec-
to, hoy, 10 que parece, completamen-
te ethado en- el olvido.
Ese edificio es hoy, por tanto, propie-
dad particular, pero en- 81 estan intere
sadcs no va ell pueblo espanol, sino la
hurlanidad entera, y aquella razon no
puece, no debe ser un obstaculo serio
que impida el que Sc detenga su COM
pleta rnina.
Con tai motive ell ayuntamiels7 de
Arganasilla de Alba ha elevado recien-
temelte una sentida exposion al senior
conde de Toreno ara que, coiao minis
iro de Fomento, eierza su natuFsal encar-
go en- ell case que nos ocupa, y haga POI
81 como entidad gobierno lo~aue pol
