The author says that this volume is a self-prescribed penance for his former injustice toward the most beautiful country and the most unspoiled and courteous peasantry in Southern Europe. So he makes amends for hitherto rating the Portuguese as a Spaniard without any good qualities. His greatest interest centers in such places as “Bussaco, Thomar and Leiria, of which he gives a vivid series of impressions, picturesque, alert, and eminently good-humoured.” (Ath.)
“His vivid description of the scenery and the people, and his observations on art, history and archaeology make up a book of more than usual interest and charm.”
