From History of the Reign of Ferdinand and Isabella, by William H. Prescott

THE CRISIS

"The crisis of a revolution, when old things are passing away, and new ones are not yet established, is, indeed, fearful. Even the immediate consequences of its achievement are scarcely less so to a people who have yet to learn by experiment the precise form of institutions best suited to their wants, and to accommodate their characters to these institutions."

From the Preface
