Previous to my connection with the Revista Nueva, I had contributed articles to El Liberal, El Pais, El Globo, La Justicia, and La Voz de Guipuzcoa, as well as to other publications.

Alexander, who was cajoled even more than his father had been by what I may call the political coquetry of Napoleon, consented to all these arrangements, acknowledged 'in globo' all the kings crowned by the Emperor, and accepted some provinces which had belonged to his despoiled ally, the King of Prussia, doubtless by way of consolation for not having been able to get more restored to Prussia.

When Maeztu, Azorin, Carlos del Rio and myself edited a modest magazine, by the name of Juventud, Azorin and I were the ones principally to be insulted. The experience was repeated later when we were both associated with El Globo. Azorin, perhaps, was attacked and insulted more frequently, so that I was often in a position to act as his champion.
