Sketches and Adventures in Madeira, Portugal, and the Andalusias of Spain (Classic Reprint)FB&C Limited, 10.07.2015 г. - 456 страници Excerpt from Sketches and Adventures in Madeira, Portugal, and the Andalusias of Spain Two of our most eminent citizens - General Dix and Mr. John Van Enron - passed a winter in Madeira, receiving and conferring great gratification in their visit. The former has written the best book upon the island ever put forth - with out pretension, and yet full of interesting details in a chaste, lucid, and concise style; and has created a desire among those whose means and education qualify them for travel to participate in enjoyments he so keenly relished. I have reason to know that his pleasant narrative has induced many to visit Madeira, as it doubtless will many more.
