This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1835 edition. Excerpt: ...to sparkle as before! Every soul in the assembly seemed to stand aghast, imprecating vengeance on the ruthless monarch, and feeling for the murdered innocents to their heart's core. Donna Inez was called for by my Lord Abbot, and embraced by his right reverence most blubberingly. The kindhearted Prior of St. Vincent's wept aloud, --I tried my best, though in a lower key, to imitate him; the Poet was lauded to the skies, and received from the fountainhead of all good within these precincts something more solid than praise--a richly embroidered purse, heavy and chinking, which he deposited in one of his lank pockets, after making a grateful profound genuflexion. "And now," said my Lord Abbot, "let us dry our tears and go to supper; and in order to give merit its just due, the Poet and Agostinho shall be of the party. "Why not?" said the Prior of St. Vincent's. "Why not?" echoed I, --" provided we have neither the king nor the murderers." As sunshine so frequently follows dark and drizzling weather, nothing could be more blithe or even frolicksome than our repast. The Grand Prior of A viz, whom we found already placed near the hospitable board with his two card companions, talking over their game, congratulated himself warmly upon having escaped such a severe assault upon the pathetic feelings, and enjoyed the festivity of the moment without alloy. So we all did; and it was at a very late hour of one of the blandest summer nights I ever experienced that we retired to our apartments. EIGHTH DAY. Too much of a good thing.--My longing for a Ramble.--Sage resolves.--A Gallop.--Pure and elastic Atmosphere.--Expansive Plain.--Banks of the River.--Majestic Basilica ofBatalha.--Ghost-like Anglers.--Retrospections.--The Conventual Bells.--Conversation...

This is the last book Beckford published in his lifetime (in 1835), and this edition includes his original diary made during his celebrated trip in 1794. This, and other evidence, show that the book was not based on a draft from the tour, but was the sudden production of an old man of 74.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1835 edition. Excerpt: ... SECOND DAY. A Morning Walk.--Boundless Orchards of Orange and Apricot.--The River Trancao.--Magnificent Baytree.--A Fishing-party.--Happy Inclosure.--An Afternoon Ramble to the Palace of the Patriarch, and its immense Parterre.--Musical contest between Frogs and Nightingales. 4th June. The sunbeams entering my windows summoned me to enjoy the fresh morning breeze blowing over the uninterrupted mass of foliage which fills up the whole valley belonging to the convent. After breakfast we walked amongst wellcultivated vegetables, fields of Indian wheat as healthy and vigorous as any that ever flourished in the islands which float about like rafts on the Lake of Mexico, and the most extensive orchards of orange, apricots, and other fruit trees, perhaps in Portugal. Every inch of ground within this inclosure is turned to the most advantageous account: the oranges alone produce from seven to eight thousand cruzados a year. A very active lay-brother has the management of this fortunate spot, and is continually extending its limits over the bare hills in the neighbourhood, many of which are comprised within the domain of the fathers. The river Trancao, which runs through the garden, is diminished to a brook at this season; but that brook is clear, and flows rapidly. Its rocky edges, worn into irregular shapes by winter torrents, bloom with the rose-coloured flowers of the oleander. Their appearance was strikingly beautiful--many of these shrubs had attained the height of fifteen or sixteen feet. But one of the grandest objects of the vegetable world which ever met my sight is a baytree, situated in the thickest part of the orange orchards, above which it towers majestically, clothed with luxuriant boughs that glisten with health and vigour. It...
