_Adamson's "Lusitania Illustrata"_ (Vol. viii., p. 104.).--Your
correspondent W. M. M. may consult the following works with great
advantage:
"Résumé de l'Histoire Littéraire du Portugal, suivi du Résumé
de l'Histoire Littéraire du Brésil, 12mo.: Paris, 1826."
"Parnaso Lusitano, ou Poesias selectas dos auctores Portuguezos
antigos e modernos, illustrados cum notas, percedido de una
Historia abreviada da lingua e poesia Portugueza, tom. v.,
18mo. Paris, 1826."
The destruction by fire of Mr. Adamson's library, which was so rich in
Portuguese literature, has, with other circumstances, hitherto prevented
the continuation of the _Lusitania Illustrata_; but the appearance
of future parts, in furtherance of the original plan, is by no means
abandoned.
