Synopsis
Excerpt from Portuguese Discoveries Dependencies: And Missions in Asia and Africa
The First Book treats of the Portuguese themselves, and gives a very brief sketch of the circumstances which led to their maritime discoveries in the XV' Century, as preliminary to their brilliant conquests in the East in the xvil Century. It affords also an outline of Portuguese India when their Eastern Empire was at its height, and concludes with a description of Southern India as the scene of the transactions recorded in this paper. This book is, of course, merely introductory, and may be omitted by such of our readers as are familiar with the subject.
The Second Book discusses the Portuguese Missions, their origin, progress, prosperous and adverse circum stances, first in reference to the heathen, and then with regard to the Church of Malabar. It includes a condensed narrative of the rise of the Jesuits, their settlement in Portugal, and their subjugation of the heathen in Southern India by Francis Xavier and his successors in the XVI' and early portion of the XVII' Century.
