"It is one of the most notable works written by foreigners regarding Portugal." This is how Bernardes Branco describes this work by Rev. Kinsey, a Protestant priest, “fellow” at Trinity College at the University of Oxford, illustrated with around 50 engravings counting the prints and vignettes that close each of the letters. Rare and highly prized.
