Excerpt from The Tourist in Portugal A few Legends, based on facts, have been inter spersed throughout the volume; but as the Author does not pledge himself for the accuracy of the details, he has distinguished those portions of the work from the authentic matter, by heading them in the old Eng lish character. Thus, it is hoped, that while offering attractions to the lovers of light literature, the volume will possess somewhat of the permanent value of a standard work.
