1880 Facts about Port and Madeira by Henry Vizetelly

The foHowing pages, with some trifling exceptions, were written on the spot in the autumn of 1877 and •appeared at the time in the columns of the Pcdl MaU Gazette. They are offered to the public in their present form, after undergoing the necessary revision, illustrated with Engravings, either from shetches made by my son, who accompanied me on my tour, or from original photo graphs. Any value the subject-matter of the work can lay claim to wiU certainly be enhanced by the fidelity with which the principal scenes and incidents have been pictorially rendered. H,V.
