Many thanks to Norfolk and Norwich Millennium Library, UK, for kindly supplying the images from which this transcription was made  a"A Supplementary Chapter to the Bible in Spain" by George Borrow is an essay written in the early 20th century that serves as a companion piece to Borrow's earlier work, "The Bible in Spain." This literary work is grounded in historical observation and commentary, exploring phenomena encountered within Spanish society and culture during Borrow's travels. The essay also reflects on Richard Ford's "Hand-Book for Travellers in Spain," moving beyond mere review to offer a broader commentary on the Spanish landscape and people.  In this supplementary chapter, Borrow articulates his fascination and disillusionment with Spain, using vivid metaphor and allegory to express his views on the country's political climate and social landscape. He employs the character of Spain as an unruly mule, reflecting on the country's turbulent political history and the cyclical nature of its governance. Through rich descriptions and historical anecdotes, Borrow critiques the socio-political dynamics of Spain, contrasting the beauty of the landscape with the societal issues plaguing the nation. He emphasizes a mix of admiration and disdain for the Spanish people while weaving in personal stories and reflections from his travels, creating a nuanced portrait of a country caught between glory and despair.
