Granada, and which rises from the narrow valley of the Darro, directly opposite to the alhambra, stands all that is left of what was once a royal palace of the Moors. It has, in fact, fallen into such obscurity, that it cost me much trouble to find it, though aided in my researches by the sagacious and all-knowing Mateo Ximenes. This edifice has borne for centuries the name of The House of the Weathercock (La casa del Gallo de Viento), from a bronze figure on one of its turrets, in ancient times, of a warrior on horseback, and turning with every breeze. This weathercock was considered by the Moslems of Granada a portentous talisman. According to some traditions, it bore the following Arabic inscription : Calet el Bedici Aben Habuz, Quidat ehahet Lindabuz. Which has been rendered into Spanish : Dice el sabio Aben Habuz, Que asi se defiende el Anduluz. And into English : In this way, says Aben Habuz the Wise, Andaluz guards against surprise. This Aben Habuz, according to some of the old Moorish

He is supposed to have intended this effigy as a perpetual warning to the Moslems of Andaluz, that, surrounded by foes, their safety depended upon their being always on their guard and ready for the field. Others, among whom is the Christian historian Marmol, affirms "Badis Aben Habus" to have been a Moorish sultan of Granada, and that the weather-cock was intended as a perpetual admonition of the instability of Moslem power, bearing the following words in Arabic : "Thus Ibn Habus al badise predicts Andaluz shall one day vanish and pass away" Another version of this portentous inscription is given by a Moslem historian, on the authority,
