A Year In Portugal, 1889-1890 is a travelogue written by George Bailey Loring, an American author and politician, and published in 1891. The book chronicles Loring’s experiences during his year-long stay in Portugal, where he traveled extensively and observed the country’s culture, history, and people.The book is divided into chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of Portugal, such as its cities, countryside, architecture, and customs. Loring provides vivid descriptions of the places he visits, including Lisbon, Porto, Sintra, and Coimbra, and shares his impressions of the Portuguese people, their traditions, and their way of life.Throughout the book, Loring also reflects on the political and economic situation in Portugal at the time, including the country’s struggle with poverty and its efforts to modernize and industrialize. He also discusses Portugal’s colonial empire and its relations with other European countries.Overall, A Year In Portugal, 1889-1890 is a fascinating account of a traveler’s journey through a country that was largely unknown to Americans at the time. Loring’s writing is engaging and insightful, and the book provides a valuable historical perspective on Portugal and its people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
