Excerpt from D. Francisco Manuel De Mello

Edward Lawson, appeared twice in the early nineteenth century, but is so rare that I could never find a copy on sale. Hence he is unknown to all save professed students of the two chief Peninsular literatures, though he ranks in them as a classic.

The lack of a history of Portuguese literature is probably the principal reason why few educated Englishmen could even name any Portuguese writer save Camoens. The forthcoming work of Mr. Aubrey Bell, translator of Gil Vicente, a competent scholar with a fascinating pen, may be expected to show the anglo-saxon world that Portugal possesses a literature, which, like her history and scenery, is rich and varied out of all proportion to her size.
