Description
Excerpt from Portuguese Conversation-Grammar
Wishing to make use, so far as is possible, of original Portuguese in the Reading Exercises, and this of the purest and most popular kind, I was fortunate enough to fall in with what proved to be a real mine of legitimate linguistic gold, both in subject and in the form in which it is presented. The student will notice that the greater part of the Reading lessons is taken from Trindade Coelho, a modern Portuguese writer who is acknowledged to be the most accomplished in popular language, whose literary excellence has been recognised, and whose tragic destiny has called forth expression of sympathetic sorrow wherever he has been known I have profited by this great pedagogue''s three Livros de Leitura, described as wonderful reading-books for public instruction by Dr. Carolina Michaelis de Vasconcellos, the learned woman, respected by all Romanists, hitherto holding a professorship in the University of Lisbon.
