Excerpt from Spanish Arms and Armour: Being a Historical and Descriptive Account of the Royal Armoury of Madrid
IN compiling this volume I believe I can claim, in a sense, to have broken new ground, for although a description of the Spanish Royal Armour-y finds a place in every Guide and Hand book to Madrid, no exhaustive survey of the contents of this priceless treasure-house, apart (mm the oficial catalogue, is in existence.
