The Lusiads of Camoes
May 27, 1880 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses the book "The Lusiad of Camões," translated by Robert Ffrench Duff. A biographic notice of the poet Luis de Camões prefaces this book, but the author says nothing about the career of Cam&otild;es's father, whom the love of adventure and travel led to India, where he died by shipwreck, a circumstance which undoubtedly had a great deal to do in forming the poet's character. The present translation has several engravings, of which some are good reproductions of old steel portraits, but concerning the authenticity of which Duff is silent.
