    'The Vision of Don Roderick' is a vivid poem celebrating the victories of the Duke of Wellington during the Peninsular War. It is based on a historic account of the consultation of an oracle by the last Visigothic King of Spain, Roderic. It is a panoramic poem, depicting various phases throughout the future of Spain.

    Proceeds from the sale of this poem were intended to raise funds for Portugal.

    Written by Sir Walter Scott, the Scottish writer of the 'Waverley' novels.
