The History Of The Revolutions Of Portugal

Reproduction of the original: The History of the Revolutions of Portugal by Abbé Vertot

Excerpt from The History of the Revolution of Portugal The study of modern history has been, during a long course of years greatly neglected in the generality of public schools; but it now begins to be regarded (as indeed it ought always to have been) as an object of the greatest importance. In England, particularly, it constitutes one of the principal branches of both public and private education. The abbé de Vertot's History of the Revolutions of Portugal has teen always esteemed equally entertaining and instructive; and as such more especially calculated for the use of young people. The late events in that country has made it doubly interesting, and nothing now seems wanting to complete so excellent a performance, but to continue the narrative to the present period.
