Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Observations on the Papers Lately Submitted to Parliament Upon the Subject of the Affairs of Portugal
Extracts without reference to context or sequel, are always weak and often perverted evidence. Even out of these however, by careful examination, and by comparison with known facts, some truth may be picked to'the elucidation of transactions, which have been easily tolerated, only because they have been little understood.
The extract laid before Parliament, from the first of Sir Charles Stewart's dispatches, gives us to understand, though it does not distinctly state, that he recommended to Don Pedro, to grant to Por tugal a constitutional system, founded on the an cient institutions of the country, rather than one emanating from his. Own imagination.
