Narrative of a Spring Tour in Portugal

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. But I need not multiply examples. The famous Pen insula and Oriental Company has found it necessary to charter a steamer every week from Marseilles, as well as from Southampton; though there are several other lines of communication lately Opened with the east, by way of Brindisi at the Southern extremity of Italy, as well as by Trieste and Corfu; and the same multiplication of steamers (the surest proof of increased traffic) may be observed at almost every port at home and abroad.
