Excerpt from Portugal and Galicia: With a Review of the Social and Political State of the Basque ProvincesSeveral years have now elapsed since the narrative of my Journey through Portugal and Galicia appeared in print still more have passed away since it was written. This narrative was originally meant to have been appended to a political treatise upon Portugal, published at a still later period, in that treatise I endeavoured to give my readers some insight into the laws of Portugal, the municipal and judicial system of that country, the tenures of property, the actual state of her trade, and the relative strength and position of the political parties which then divided the kingdom. That work referred exclusively to those deeper and drier considerations which, however fraught with interest to the politician, are comparatively little congenial to the taste of the general reader, but this narrative of my Journey through Portugal is of a lighter cast, containing some sketches of society, mixed up with personal adventures, and occasionally alluding to those peculiar habits, superstitions, and opinions upon which the political changes of the last few years can have as yet produced no sensible impression.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
