    Description

    Leather Binding

    First published in 1773, Vieyra was a professor of Italian and Portuguese in London, and later became Regis Professor of Spanish at the University of Dublin. In the same period, he authored a useful Portuguese Grammar.

    Consisting of Part I, wherein Portuguese words are provided - 'properly accented to facilitate the pronunciation of the learner' - alongside their English meaning, and Part II, in which English words are provided, and their definitions supplied in Portuguese.

    A smart copy of this impressive early nineteenth century English-Portuguese dictionary.
