126. See the two general historians of Spain Mariana (Hist.
de Rebus Hispanize, tom. i. l. v. c. 12-15, p. 182-194) and
Ferreras (French translation tom. ii. p. 206-247). Mariana
almost forgets that he is a Jesuit, to assume the style and
spirit of a Roman classic. Ferreras, an industrious
compiler, reviews his facts and rectifies his chronology.
