It is not my intention to write the history of the Moors in minute detail, but merely to retrace their principal revolutions, and attempt a faith ful sketch of their national character and man ners. The Spanish historians, whom I have carefully consulted in aid of this design, have been of but little assistance to me in my efforts. Careful to give a very prominent place in their extremely complicated narratives to the various sovereigns of Asturia, Navarre, Aragon, and Castile, they advert to the Moors only when their wars with the Christians inseparably mingle the' interests of the two nations; but they never allude to the government, customs, or laws of the enemies of their faith.
