Excerpt from A Story of Madeira Until then the rich products of the Orient were carried overland to Venice, the distributing point of all Europe. It was the great hope Of Prince Henry, the Navigator, to discover a southern water-route to India, which, by one bold, brilliant stroke, would add to the glory of Portugal, deprive the Venetians of their commercial prestige, and turn the current of trade toward Lisbon, where his father loved to dwell and watch the white sails pass to and fro along the Ta gus. All the adventurous spirits of the kingdom gathered around Prince Henry, and while he never commanded the ex peditions in person, he was universally acknowledged to be the guiding genius of them all. This was but the beginning of that marvelous expansion of power which has given Portugal a story among the nations of earth - a story as eventful, as pictur esque, as glorious as even her prouder Castilian neighbor can tell. And when it is remembered that these sea-faring men put out on unknown seas in such crazy crafts' as a sailor of to-day would hardly trust outside of the land's sight, and that there was at that time none of the modern knowledge of the tides and winds, their successful ventures seem all the more wonderful.

Excerpt from Madeira: Old and New For such information as this small work holds I am largely indebted to the various British residents in Madeira. I have in especial to thank Mr Charles J. Cossart for the loan of those records which have been preserved of the old British Factory, as well as for the very courteous invitation to benefit from his invaluable collection of works - both Portugese and English - that deal with the Island. To Mr Charles B. Cossart I am indebted for similar kindnesses, in addition to the material of the chapter on the "Desertas" Islands. I have also to express my obligation for the courteous assistance which I received from Messrs J., E., and F. Blandy, Messrs M., R., and N. Faber, Doctors Grabham, Scott, and Conolly, the Rev. Bickerton Edwards, the Rev. Drummond Paterson, Padre Ernesto Schmitz, and Messrs Krohn, W. and A. Reid, Welsh, and Miles. In addition to Miss Cossart's illustrations, which I take no little pride in including in the volume, I have to thank Mr. H. C. Houghton for those dealing with the "Levadas" and some others, and Mr V. de Castro and the Messrs Reid respectively for the photographs of the Casino and Hotels. Several of the sketches now offered have appeared in the Globe, and, as in previous works, I have to acknowledge the courtesy of the editor for their reproduction.

Excerpt from A History of the Fishes of Madeira: With Original Figures From Nature of All the Species In the present state of systematic Ichthyology, and particularly in a work which undertakes, for the first time, to register at intervals the natural productions of a coast and ocean unexplored, it has appeared a requisite precaution against the alterations or displacements likely to be caused by fresh discoveries, to postpone, during the course of publication, all attempts at method or arrangement to the end. In most undertakings of this kind, the probability of such disturbance is diminished by the more advanced state of knowledge generally on the subject, or by the local observations and experience of others. Their author either has immediate opportunities of appealing to the records of his predecessors, and to the judgment of contemporaries; or, by removal from the field of his researches, he is effectually debarred all access to additional materials derived from the spot. The circumstances in the present case are different. Ichthyology, viewed whether in its systematical arrangements, or as a simple register of forms, is so comparatively in its infancy, that almost every month produces some addition to its lists, demanding fresh modifications of its groups and families. The author has to pioneer his way alone, not only through a region altogether new and unexplored in this department, but through one which, peculiarly rich as it has proved already, he is confident is yet far from exhausted, and which he is likely to continue to explore. He will not therefore lay down the ground-work of his chart, or trace his line of route definitively, so long as any opportunity remains for correcting its bearings, or improving its direction. There are, however, doubtless many persons whom this plan, without some accompanying corrective to its disadvantages, would exclude from any interest in the following pages; and who might decline to step into a labyrinth of forms and names, without some clue to guide them through its seeming intricacies.

Excerpt from The Flowers and Gardens of Madeira And fertile land.

Excerpt from Leaves From a Madeira Garden About Madeira. This is not surprising, as for more than two centuries the island has been the resort of our countrymen for business, health, or pleasure, and was for a short period under the British flag. Most of these books are serious works, written by scientific men, and dealing with the climate, the meteorology, the flora, and other natural features. Of the rest, many have been produced by casual Visitors, who, on the strength of a stay of a few weeks and a perusal of previous authorities, have felt qualified to enlighten the public. Such persons sometimes have an irritating trick of writing about well-known places with an air of having discovered them. The following pages do not fall into either class. I do not assume to impart any information of value and as it has been my good fortune to pass many winters in the island, I cannot plead ignorance as an excuse for my shortcomings and mistakes.
