Among Portuguese friends I would name, in particular, Dr. Reynaldo dos Santos, for double personality, for he is both a famous man of medicine and the greatest and most discerning of his country's art critics. (...) My friend Dr. Tavares de Almeida, has given invaluable help in procuring photographs. Certain of the illustrations in this book were taken at his instigation. I am indebted to him for the pictures in Santa Clara-a-Nova at Coimbra, and at the Convent of Jesus at Aveiro, and for photographs of the beautiful statues at Arouca.(...) Among other friends whose hospitality we enjoyed in Portugal I would thank the Duke and Duchess of Palmela for showing me their palace in Lisbon withs its portraits by Sir Thomas Lawrence, and the wonderful 18 th Century wooden chapel on a upper floor.
