Excerpt from The Portuguese Tresor: Or the Art of Translating Easy English Into Portuguese, at SightThe tresor DE l'ecomm was my first work. Its success equalled my most sanguine hopes. Simi lar publications in Italian, German, Latin, and Spanish, were immediately called for - and in obedi ence to that call, successively produced, and met with the like extensive circulation. I now offer to the public the portuguese tresor, written upon the same plan. It is therefore needless for me to enter into any details. The student will find that my chief aim has been simplicity and conciseness.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
