Synopsis
Excerpt from Lusitanian Sketches of the Pen and Pencil, Vol. 1 of 2
The second volume may be found more interesting than the first, as it contains a description of a wider district, and of a greater variety of scenery. In' it I have given an account of the wine-country, the production of port wine, the method of preserving and treating it, and advice to wine-merchants and private gentlemen as to the best way of selecting it. I have touched also on the Oporto Wine Company, and on the subject of the lately projected rail-roads.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book highlights the socio-political-religious landscape of Portugal in the mid-19th century, as seen through the eyes of William H.G. Kingston, a British naval officer and writer. Kingston spent nearly two years in the northern provinces of Portugal from the Minho to the Mondego, and his observations provide a nuanced insight into the tumultuous period following the end of the Peninsular War and the establishment of a constitutional monarchy. The sketches in this volume serve as both a travelogue and historical account, offering a glimpse into the lives, customs, and political struggles of the Portuguese people during a transformative era. Kingston's detailed descriptions encompass a wide range of subjects, from the architectural splendor of Oporto to the religious festivals and traditions observed throughout the country. He also discusses the economic and social challenges facing Portugal, including the struggle for political stability and the widespread influence of the Catholic Church. Through Kingston's vivid prose, this book presents a multifaceted portrait of a nation grappling with its past and forging a path toward a more modern future.
