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.
