Historical Studies, III 
JOHN FRANCIS BACON
Six years in Biscay
1994, 372 pages, il., 2,500 pesetas, 15 euros.

CONTENTS:  José Ramón Urquijo Goitia: The siege of Bilbao. John Francis Bacon: Six years in Biscay.

SUMMARY:  This is the first time that Bacon’s study has been translated into Spanish both faithfully and in its entirety. A first translation appeared in the very year the study was originally published, but it only incorporated two chapters and had, in any case, been extensively edited and all the author’s criticisms of the liberal authorities removed.  The study was written in reply to a work published two years earlier in London by the pro-Carlist author Henningsen, and is a staunch defence of the Spanish liberals within the framework of the ongoing debate in Britain regarding the First Carlist War. The six years that Bacon spent in Bilbao gave him a in-depth knowledge of contemporary Basque culture, and although we must not forget that he writes from a decidedly British point of view at all times, his observations nevertheless offer us a vivid insight into the lives of our ancestors.  The publication also includes a study by José Ramón Urquijoren, which is based on a wide range of contemporary documents and is sure to be well received by both amateur and professional 19th century historians alike.
