+ * Introduction *
+
+ **
+
+_FROM_ the time of Shakspere downwards, wits and authors innumerable
+have made themselves and the public more or less merry at the expense
+of the earlier efforts of the student of a strange tongue; but it has
+been reserved to our own time for a _soi disant_ instructor to
+perpetrate--at his own expense--the monstrous joke of publishing a
+Guide to Conversation in a language of which it is only too evident
+that every word is utterly strange to him. The Teutonic sage who
+evolved the ideal portrait of an elephant from his "inner
+consciousness" was a commonplace, matter-of fact person compared with
+the daring visionary who conjures up a complete system of language
+from the same fertile but untrustworthy source. The piquancy of
+Senhor Pedro Carolino's _New Guide of the Conversation in Portuguese
+and English_ is enhanced by the evident _bona fides_ and careful
+compilation of "the little book," or as Pedro himself gravely
+expresses it, "for the care what we wrote him, and for her
+typographical correction."
+
+In short, the _New Guide of the Conversation in Portuguese and
+English_ was written with serious intent, and for the purpose of
+initiating Portuguese students into the mysteries of the English
+language. The earlier portions of the book are divided into three
+columns, the first giving the Portuguese; the second what, in the
+opinion of the author, is the English equivalent; and the third the
+English equivalent phonetically spelt, so that the tyro may at the
+same time master our barbarous phraseology and the pronunciation
+thereof. In the second part of the work the learner is supposed to
+have sufficiently mastered the pronunciation of the English language,
+to be left to his own devices.
+
+A little consideration of the shaping of our author's English phrases
+leads to the conclusion that the materials used have been a
+Portuguese-French phrase-book and a French-English dictionary. With
+these slight impedimenta has the daring Lusitanian ventured upon the
+unknown deep of a strange language, and the result, to quote again
+from the Preface, "May be worth the acceptation of the studious
+persons, and especially of the Youth, at which we dedicate him
+particularly," but will at all events contribute not a little to the
+Youth's hilarity.
+
+To begin with the vocabulary; it is perhaps hardly fair to expect a
+professor of languages to trouble himself with "Degrees of Kindred,"
+still, such titles as "Gossip mistress, a relation, an relation, a
+guardian, an guardian, the quatergrandfather, the quater-grandmother,"
+require some slight elucidation, and passing over the catalogue of
+articles of dress which are denominated "Objects of Man" and "Woman
+Objects," one may take exception to "crumbs" and "groceries," which
+are inserted among plates and cruets as ordinary table garniture.
+
+Among what are denominated "Eatings" we find "some wigs," "a dainty
+dishes," "a mutton shoulder," "a little mine," "hog-fat," and "an
+amelet": the _menu_ is scarcely appetising, especially when among
+"Fishes and Shellfishes" our Portuguese Lucullus sets down the
+"hedgehog," "snail," and "wolf." After this such trifles as "starch"
+arranged under the heading of "Metals and Minerals," and "brick" and
+"whitelead" under that of "Common Stones" fall almost flat; but one
+would like to be initiated into the mysteries of "gleek," "carousal,"
+and "keel," which are gravely asserted to be "Games." Among "Chivalry
+Orders" one has a glimmering of what is intended by "Saint
+Michaelmas" and "Very-Merit"; but under the heading of "Degrees,"
+although by a slight exercise of the imagination we can picture to
+ourselves "a quater master," "a general to galeries," or even a
+"vessel captain," we are entirely nonplussed by "a harbinger" and "a
+parapet."
+
+Passing on to "Familiar Phrases," most of which appear to be old
+friends with new faces, Senhor Carolino's literal cribs from the
+French become more and more apparent, in spite of his boast in the
+Preface of being "clean of gallicisms and despoiled phrases." "Apply
+you at the study during that you are young" is doubtless an excellent
+precept, and as he remarks further on "How do you can it to deny";
+but study may be misdirected, and in the moral, no less than in the
+material world, it is useful to know. "That are the dishes whom you
+must be and to abstain"; while the meaning of "This girl have a
+beauty edge" is scarcely clear unless it relates to the preternatural
+acuteness of the fair sex in these days of board schools and woman's
+rights.
+
+Further on the conversationalist appears to get into rough company,
+and we find him remarking "He laughs at my nose, he jest by me,"
+gallicé "_Il me rit au nez, il se moque de moi_"; "He has me take out
+my hairs," "He does me some kicks," "He has scratch the face with
+hers nails," all doubtless painfully translated with the assistance
+of a French-English dictionary from "_Il m'a arraché les cheveux_,"
+"_Il me donne des coups-de-pied_," "_Il m'a lacere la figure de ses
+ongles_." It is noticeable that our instructor as a rule endeavours
+to make the possessive pronoun agree with the substantive in number
+and gender in orthodox Portuguese fashion, and that like a true
+grammatical patriot he insists upon the substantive having the same
+gender as in his native tongue; therefore "_às unhas_" must be
+rendered "hers nails" and "_vóssas civilidádes_" "yours civilities."
+By this time no one will be disposed to contradict our inimitable
+Pedro when he remarks "_E factéo_" giving the translation as "He has
+the word for to laugh," a construction bearing a suspicious
+resemblance to "_Il a le mot pour rire._" "He do the devil at four"
+has no reference to an artful scheme for circumventing the Archfiend
+at a stated hour, but is merely a simulacrum of the well-known gallic
+idiomatic expression "_Il fait le diable à quatre._" Truly this is
+excellent fooling; _Punch_ in his wildest humour, backed by the whole
+colony of Leicester Square, could not produce funnier English.
+"He burns one's self the brains," "He was fighted in duel," "They
+fight one's selfs together," "He do want to fall," would be more
+intelligible if less picturesque in their original form of "_Il se
+brûle la cervelle_," "_Il s'cet battu en duel_," "_lis se battent
+ensemble_," "_Il manque de tomber_." The comic vein running through
+the "Familiar Phrases" is so inexhaustible that space forbids further
+quotation from this portion of the book, which may be appropriately
+closed with "Help to a little most the better yours terms," a
+mysterious adjuration, which a reference to the original Portuguese
+leads one to suppose may be a daring guess at "_Choisissez un pen
+mieux vos paroles_."
+
+In the second part, entitled "Familiar Dialogues," the fun grows fast
+and furious. Let us accompany our mad wag upon "The walk." "You hear
+the bird's gurgling?" he enquires, and then rapturously exclaims
+"Which pleasure! which charm! The field has by me a thousand
+charms"; after this, to the question "Are you hunter? Will you go to
+the hunting in one day this week?" he responds "Willingly; I have not
+a most pleasure in the world. There is some game on they cantons."
+Proceeding from "game" to "gaming" we soon run aground upon the word
+"_jeu_," which as we know does duty in French both for a game and a
+pack of cards. "At what pack will you that we does play?" "To the
+cards." Of course this is "_A quel Jeu voulez vous que nous
+Jouions?_" "_Aux cartes_;" and further on "This time I have a great
+deal pack," "_Cette fois j'ai un jeu excellent!_"
+
+Now let us listen to our friend at his tailor's: his greeting is
+perky--almost slangy. "Can you do me a coat?" he enquires, but
+quickly drivels down to "What cloth will you do to?" and then to the
+question "What will you to double (_doubler_) the coat?" obtains the
+satisfactory answer "From something of duration. I believe to you
+that." After requesting to have his garment "The rather that be
+possible," he overwhelms the procrastinating man of cloth with the
+stern remark "You have me done to expect too," evidently a bold
+version of "_Vous m' avez fait trop attendre_," which draws forth the
+natural excuse "I did can't to come rather." Passing by a number of
+good things which one would like to analyse if space permitted, we
+arrive at "For to ride a horse," a fine little bit of word painting
+almost Carlylean in its grotesqueness. "Here is a horse who have a
+ bad looks. He not sail know to march, he is pursy, he is foundered.
+Don't you are ashamed to give me a jade as like? he is unshoed, he is
+with nails up; it want to lead to the farrier." "Let us prick
+(_piquons_) go us more fast, never I was seen a so much bad beast;
+she will not nor to bring forward neither put back." "Strek him the
+bridle," cries the horsedealer, "Hold him the rein sharters." "Pique
+stron gly, make to marsh him." "I have pricked him enough. But
+I can't to make marsh him," replies the indignant client. "Go down, I
+shall make marsh," declares the dealer; upon which the incensed
+equestrian rejoins "Take care that he not give you a foot kicks," and
+the "coper" sardonically but somewhat incoherently concludes with
+"Then he kicks for that I look? Sook here if I knew to tame hix."
+
+After the "Familiar Dialogues" we come upon a series of letters from
+celebrated personages, who would be puzzled to recognize themselves
+in their new dresses; and a collection of anecdotes which may be
+taken singly after dinner as a gentle promoter of digestion; the
+whole being appropriately concluded with "Idiotisms and Proverbs,"
+between which it must be confessed the distinction is purely
+imaginary; the following are a few gems: "Its are some blu stories"
+(_contes bleus_); "Nothing some money, nothing some Swiss," "He sin
+in trouble water" (confusion of _pécher_ and _pêcher_). "A horse
+baared don't look him the tooth," "The stone as roll not heap up not
+foam," _mousse_ meaning both foam and moss, of course the wrong
+meaning is essential to a good "idiotism." "To force to forge,
+becomes smith" (_a force de forger on devient forgeron_). "To
+craunch the marmoset" and "To fatten the foot" may terminate the
+list, and are incontestably more idiotic, although scarcely so
+idiomatic as "_Croquer le marmot_" and "_Graisser lapatte_."
+
+The column in Portuguese which runs throughout the original work is
+omitted, and only a sufficient number of the English extracts are
+culled to enable the reader to form a just idea of the
+unintentionally humorous style that an author may fall into who
+attempts to follow the intricacies of "English as she is spoke" by
+the aid of a French dictionary and a phrasebook.
+
+It is to be trusted the eccentric "Guide" to which this short sketch
+is intended to serve as Introduction--and, so far as may be,
+elucidation--is not a fair specimen of Portuguese or Brazilian
+educational literature; if such be the case the schoolmaster is
+indeed "abroad," and one may justly fear that his instruction--to
+quote once more the Preface--"only will be for to accustom the
+Portuguese pupils, or foreign, to speak very bad any of the mentioned
+idioms."

+
+ Preface.
+
+ [Author's]
+
+_A CHOICE of_ familiar dialogues, _clean of gallicisms, and despoiled
+phrases, it was missing yet to studious Portuguese and brazilian
+Youth; and also to persons of others nations, that wish to know the
+Portuguese language. We sought all we may do, to correct that want,
+composing and divising the present little work in two parts. The
+first includes a greatest vocabulary proper names by alphabetical
+order; and the second forty three_ Dialogues _adapted to the usual
+precisions of the life. For that reason we did put, with a scrupulous
+exactness, a great variety own expressions to english and Portuguese
+idioms; without to attach us selves (as make some others) almost at a
+literal translation; translation what only will be for to accustom
+the Portuguese pupils, or-foreign, to speak very bad any of the
+mentioned idioms._
+
+_We were increasing this second edition with a phraseology, in the
+first part, and some familiar letters, anecdotes, idiotisms,
+proverbs, and to second a coin's index._
+
+_The_ Works _which we were confering for this labour, fond use us for
+nothing; but those what were publishing to Portugal, or out, they
+were almost all composed for some foreign, or for some national
+little acquainted in the spirit of both languages. It was resulting
+from that carelessness to rest these_ Works _fill of imperfections,
+and anomalies of style; in spite of the infinite typographical faults
+which some times, invert the sense of the periods. It increase not to
+contain any of those_ Works _the figured pronunciation of the english
+words, nor the prosodical accent in the Portuguese; indispensable
+object whom wish to speak the english and Portuguese languages
+correctly._
+
+_We expect then, who the little book (for the care what we wrote him,
+and for her typographical correction) that may be worth the
+acceptation of the studious persons, and especially of the Youth, at
+which we dedicate him particularly._

+ * Introduction *
+
+ **
+
+_FROM_ the time of Shakspere downwards, wits and authors innumerable
+have made themselves and the public more or less merry at the expense
+of the earlier efforts of the student of a strange tongue; but it has
+been reserved to our own time for a _soi disant_ instructor to
+perpetrate--at his own expense--the monstrous joke of publishing a
+Guide to Conversation in a language of which it is only too evident
+that every word is utterly strange to him. The Teutonic sage who
+evolved the ideal portrait of an elephant from his "inner
+consciousness" was a commonplace, matter-of fact person compared with
+the daring visionary who conjures up a complete system of language
+from the same fertile but untrustworthy source. The piquancy of
+Senhor Pedro Carolino's _New Guide of the Conversation in Portuguese
+and English_ is enhanced by the evident _bona fides_ and careful
+compilation of "the little book," or as Pedro himself gravely
+expresses it, "for the care what we wrote him, and for her
+typographical correction."
+
+In short, the _New Guide of the Conversation in Portuguese and
+English_ was written with serious intent, and for the purpose of
+initiating Portuguese students into the mysteries of the English
+language. The earlier portions of the book are divided into three
+columns, the first giving the Portuguese; the second what, in the
+opinion of the author, is the English equivalent; and the third the
+English equivalent phonetically spelt, so that the tyro may at the
+same time master our barbarous phraseology and the pronunciation
+thereof. In the second part of the work the learner is supposed to
+have sufficiently mastered the pronunciation of the English language,
+to be left to his own devices.
+
+A little consideration of the shaping of our author's English phrases
+leads to the conclusion that the materials used have been a
+Portuguese-French phrase-book and a French-English dictionary. With
+these slight impedimenta has the daring Lusitanian ventured upon the
+unknown deep of a strange language, and the result, to quote again
+from the Preface, "May be worth the acceptation of the studious
+persons, and especially of the Youth, at which we dedicate him
+particularly," but will at all events contribute not a little to the
+Youth's hilarity.
+
+To begin with the vocabulary; it is perhaps hardly fair to expect a
+professor of languages to trouble himself with "Degrees of Kindred,"
+still, such titles as "Gossip mistress, a relation, an relation, a
+guardian, an guardian, the quatergrandfather, the quater-grandmother,"
+require some slight elucidation, and passing over the catalogue of
+articles of dress which are denominated "Objects of Man" and "Woman
+Objects," one may take exception to "crumbs" and "groceries," which
+are inserted among plates and cruets as ordinary table garniture.
+
+Among what are denominated "Eatings" we find "some wigs," "a dainty
+dishes," "a mutton shoulder," "a little mine," "hog-fat," and "an
+amelet": the _menu_ is scarcely appetising, especially when among
+"Fishes and Shellfishes" our Portuguese Lucullus sets down the
+"hedgehog," "snail," and "wolf." After this such trifles as "starch"
+arranged under the heading of "Metals and Minerals," and "brick" and
+"whitelead" under that of "Common Stones" fall almost flat; but one
+would like to be initiated into the mysteries of "gleek," "carousal,"
+and "keel," which are gravely asserted to be "Games." Among "Chivalry
+Orders" one has a glimmering of what is intended by "Saint
+Michaelmas" and "Very-Merit"; but under the heading of "Degrees,"
+although by a slight exercise of the imagination we can picture to
+ourselves "a quater master," "a general to galeries," or even a
+"vessel captain," we are entirely nonplussed by "a harbinger" and "a
+parapet."
+
+Passing on to "Familiar Phrases," most of which appear to be old
+friends with new faces, Senhor Carolino's literal cribs from the
+French become more and more apparent, in spite of his boast in the
+Preface of being "clean of gallicisms and despoiled phrases." "Apply
+you at the study during that you are young" is doubtless an excellent
+precept, and as he remarks further on "How do you can it to deny";
+but study may be misdirected, and in the moral, no less than in the
+material world, it is useful to know. "That are the dishes whom you
+must be and to abstain"; while the meaning of "This girl have a
+beauty edge" is scarcely clear unless it relates to the preternatural
+acuteness of the fair sex in these days of board schools and woman's
+rights.
+
+Further on the conversationalist appears to get into rough company,
+and we find him remarking "He laughs at my nose, he jest by me,"
+gallicé "_Il me rit au nez, il se moque de moi_"; "He has me take out
+my hairs," "He does me some kicks," "He has scratch the face with
+hers nails," all doubtless painfully translated with the assistance
+of a French-English dictionary from "_Il m'a arraché les cheveux_,"
+"_Il me donne des coups-de-pied_," "_Il m'a lacere la figure de ses
+ongles_." It is noticeable that our instructor as a rule endeavours
+to make the possessive pronoun agree with the substantive in number
+and gender in orthodox Portuguese fashion, and that like a true
+grammatical patriot he insists upon the substantive having the same
+gender as in his native tongue; therefore "_às unhas_" must be
+rendered "hers nails" and "_vóssas civilidádes_" "yours civilities."
+By this time no one will be disposed to contradict our inimitable
+Pedro when he remarks "_E factéo_" giving the translation as "He has
+the word for to laugh," a construction bearing a suspicious
+resemblance to "_Il a le mot pour rire._" "He do the devil at four"
+has no reference to an artful scheme for circumventing the Archfiend
+at a stated hour, but is merely a simulacrum of the well-known gallic
+idiomatic expression "_Il fait le diable à quatre._" Truly this is
+excellent fooling; _Punch_ in his wildest humour, backed by the whole
+colony of Leicester Square, could not produce funnier English.
+"He burns one's self the brains," "He was fighted in duel," "They
+fight one's selfs together," "He do want to fall," would be more
+intelligible if less picturesque in their original form of "_Il se
+brûle la cervelle_," "_Il s'cet battu en duel_," "_lis se battent
+ensemble_," "_Il manque de tomber_." The comic vein running through
+the "Familiar Phrases" is so inexhaustible that space forbids further
+quotation from this portion of the book, which may be appropriately
+closed with "Help to a little most the better yours terms," a
+mysterious adjuration, which a reference to the original Portuguese
+leads one to suppose may be a daring guess at "_Choisissez un pen
+mieux vos paroles_."
+
+In the second part, entitled "Familiar Dialogues," the fun grows fast
+and furious. Let us accompany our mad wag upon "The walk." "You hear
+the bird's gurgling?" he enquires, and then rapturously exclaims
+"Which pleasure! which charm! The field has by me a thousand
+charms"; after this, to the question "Are you hunter? Will you go to
+the hunting in one day this week?" he responds "Willingly; I have not
+a most pleasure in the world. There is some game on they cantons."
+Proceeding from "game" to "gaming" we soon run aground upon the word
+"_jeu_," which as we know does duty in French both for a game and a
+pack of cards. "At what pack will you that we does play?" "To the
+cards." Of course this is "_A quel Jeu voulez vous que nous
+Jouions?_" "_Aux cartes_;" and further on "This time I have a great
+deal pack," "_Cette fois j'ai un jeu excellent!_"
+
+Now let us listen to our friend at his tailor's: his greeting is
+perky--almost slangy. "Can you do me a coat?" he enquires, but
+quickly drivels down to "What cloth will you do to?" and then to the
+question "What will you to double (_doubler_) the coat?" obtains the
+satisfactory answer "From something of duration. I believe to you
+that." After requesting to have his garment "The rather that be
+possible," he overwhelms the procrastinating man of cloth with the
+stern remark "You have me done to expect too," evidently a bold
+version of "_Vous m' avez fait trop attendre_," which draws forth the
+natural excuse "I did can't to come rather." Passing by a number of
+good things which one would like to analyse if space permitted, we
+arrive at "For to ride a horse," a fine little bit of word painting
+almost Carlylean in its grotesqueness. "Here is a horse who have a
+ bad looks. He not sail know to march, he is pursy, he is foundered.
+Don't you are ashamed to give me a jade as like? he is unshoed, he is
+with nails up; it want to lead to the farrier." "Let us prick
+(_piquons_) go us more fast, never I was seen a so much bad beast;
+she will not nor to bring forward neither put back." "Strek him the
+bridle," cries the horsedealer, "Hold him the rein sharters." "Pique
+stron gly, make to marsh him." "I have pricked him enough. But
+I can't to make marsh him," replies the indignant client. "Go down, I
+shall make marsh," declares the dealer; upon which the incensed
+equestrian rejoins "Take care that he not give you a foot kicks," and
+the "coper" sardonically but somewhat incoherently concludes with
+"Then he kicks for that I look? Sook here if I knew to tame hix."
+
+After the "Familiar Dialogues" we come upon a series of letters from
+celebrated personages, who would be puzzled to recognize themselves
+in their new dresses; and a collection of anecdotes which may be
+taken singly after dinner as a gentle promoter of digestion; the
+whole being appropriately concluded with "Idiotisms and Proverbs,"
+between which it must be confessed the distinction is purely
+imaginary; the following are a few gems: "Its are some blu stories"
+(_contes bleus_); "Nothing some money, nothing some Swiss," "He sin
+in trouble water" (confusion of _pécher_ and _pêcher_). "A horse
+baared don't look him the tooth," "The stone as roll not heap up not
+foam," _mousse_ meaning both foam and moss, of course the wrong
+meaning is essential to a good "idiotism." "To force to forge,
+becomes smith" (_a force de forger on devient forgeron_). "To
+craunch the marmoset" and "To fatten the foot" may terminate the
+list, and are incontestably more idiotic, although scarcely so
+idiomatic as "_Croquer le marmot_" and "_Graisser lapatte_."
+
+The column in Portuguese which runs throughout the original work is
+omitted, and only a sufficient number of the English extracts are
+culled to enable the reader to form a just idea of the
+unintentionally humorous style that an author may fall into who
+attempts to follow the intricacies of "English as she is spoke" by
+the aid of a French dictionary and a phrasebook.
+
+It is to be trusted the eccentric "Guide" to which this short sketch
+is intended to serve as Introduction--and, so far as may be,
+elucidation--is not a fair specimen of Portuguese or Brazilian
+educational literature; if such be the case the schoolmaster is
+indeed "abroad," and one may justly fear that his instruction--to
+quote once more the Preface--"only will be for to accustom the
+Portuguese pupils, or foreign, to speak very bad any of the mentioned
+idioms."

+ Preface.
+
+ [Author's]
+
+_A CHOICE of_ familiar dialogues, _clean of gallicisms, and despoiled
+phrases, it was missing yet to studious Portuguese and brazilian
+Youth; and also to persons of others nations, that wish to know the
+Portuguese language. We sought all we may do, to correct that want,
+composing and divising the present little work in two parts. The
+first includes a greatest vocabulary proper names by alphabetical
+order; and the second forty three_ Dialogues _adapted to the usual
+precisions of the life. For that reason we did put, with a scrupulous
+exactness, a great variety own expressions to english and Portuguese
+idioms; without to attach us selves (as make some others) almost at a
+literal translation; translation what only will be for to accustom
+the Portuguese pupils, or-foreign, to speak very bad any of the
+mentioned idioms._
+
+_We were increasing this second edition with a phraseology, in the
+first part, and some familiar letters, anecdotes, idiotisms,
+proverbs, and to second a coin's index._
+
+_The_ Works _which we were confering for this labour, fond use us for
+nothing; but those what were publishing to Portugal, or out, they
+were almost all composed for some foreign, or for some national
+little acquainted in the spirit of both languages. It was resulting
+from that carelessness to rest these_ Works _fill of imperfections,
+and anomalies of style; in spite of the infinite typographical faults
+which some times, invert the sense of the periods. It increase not to
+contain any of those_ Works _the figured pronunciation of the english
+words, nor the prosodical accent in the Portuguese; indispensable
+object whom wish to speak the english and Portuguese languages
+correctly._
+
+_We expect then, who the little book (for the care what we wrote him,
+and for her typographical correction) that may be worth the
+acceptation of the studious persons, and especially of the Youth, at
+which we dedicate him particularly._

+ * Introduction *
+
+ **
+
+_FROM_ the time of Shakspere downwards, wits and authors innumerable
+have made themselves and the public more or less merry at the expense
+of the earlier efforts of the student of a strange tongue; but it has
+been reserved to our own time for a _soi disant_ instructor to
+perpetrate--at his own expense--the monstrous joke of publishing a
+Guide to Conversation in a language of which it is only too evident
+that every word is utterly strange to him. The Teutonic sage who
+evolved the ideal portrait of an elephant from his "inner
+consciousness" was a commonplace, matter-of fact person compared with
+the daring visionary who conjures up a complete system of language
+from the same fertile but untrustworthy source. The piquancy of
+Senhor Pedro Carolino's _New Guide of the Conversation in Portuguese
+and English_ is enhanced by the evident _bona fides_ and careful
+compilation of "the little book," or as Pedro himself gravely
+expresses it, "for the care what we wrote him, and for her
+typographical correction."
+
+In short, the _New Guide of the Conversation in Portuguese and
+English_ was written with serious intent, and for the purpose of
+initiating Portuguese students into the mysteries of the English
+language. The earlier portions of the book are divided into three
+columns, the first giving the Portuguese; the second what, in the
+opinion of the author, is the English equivalent; and the third the
+English equivalent phonetically spelt, so that the tyro may at the
+same time master our barbarous phraseology and the pronunciation
+thereof. In the second part of the work the learner is supposed to
+have sufficiently mastered the pronunciation of the English language,
+to be left to his own devices.
+
+A little consideration of the shaping of our author's English phrases
+leads to the conclusion that the materials used have been a
+Portuguese-French phrase-book and a French-English dictionary. With
+these slight impedimenta has the daring Lusitanian ventured upon the
+unknown deep of a strange language, and the result, to quote again
+from the Preface, "May be worth the acceptation of the studious
+persons, and especially of the Youth, at which we dedicate him
+particularly," but will at all events contribute not a little to the
+Youth's hilarity.
+
+To begin with the vocabulary; it is perhaps hardly fair to expect a
+professor of languages to trouble himself with "Degrees of Kindred,"
+still, such titles as "Gossip mistress, a relation, an relation, a
+guardian, an guardian, the quatergrandfather, the quater-grandmother,"
+require some slight elucidation, and passing over the catalogue of
+articles of dress which are denominated "Objects of Man" and "Woman
+Objects," one may take exception to "crumbs" and "groceries," which
+are inserted among plates and cruets as ordinary table garniture.
+
+Among what are denominated "Eatings" we find "some wigs," "a dainty
+dishes," "a mutton shoulder," "a little mine," "hog-fat," and "an
+amelet": the _menu_ is scarcely appetising, especially when among
+"Fishes and Shellfishes" our Portuguese Lucullus sets down the
+"hedgehog," "snail," and "wolf." After this such trifles as "starch"
+arranged under the heading of "Metals and Minerals," and "brick" and
+"whitelead" under that of "Common Stones" fall almost flat; but one
+would like to be initiated into the mysteries of "gleek," "carousal,"
+and "keel," which are gravely asserted to be "Games." Among "Chivalry
+Orders" one has a glimmering of what is intended by "Saint
+Michaelmas" and "Very-Merit"; but under the heading of "Degrees,"
+although by a slight exercise of the imagination we can picture to
+ourselves "a quater master," "a general to galeries," or even a
+"vessel captain," we are entirely nonplussed by "a harbinger" and "a
+parapet."
+
+Passing on to "Familiar Phrases," most of which appear to be old
+friends with new faces, Senhor Carolino's literal cribs from the
+French become more and more apparent, in spite of his boast in the
+Preface of being "clean of gallicisms and despoiled phrases." "Apply
+you at the study during that you are young" is doubtless an excellent
+precept, and as he remarks further on "How do you can it to deny";
+but study may be misdirected, and in the moral, no less than in the
+material world, it is useful to know. "That are the dishes whom you
+must be and to abstain"; while the meaning of "This girl have a
+beauty edge" is scarcely clear unless it relates to the preternatural
+acuteness of the fair sex in these days of board schools and woman's
+rights.
+
+Further on the conversationalist appears to get into rough company,
+and we find him remarking "He laughs at my nose, he jest by me,"
+gallice "_Il me rit au nez, il se moque de moi_"; "He has me take out
+my hairs," "He does me some kicks," "He has scratch the face with
+hers nails," all doubtless painfully translated with the assistance
+of a French-English dictionary from "_Il m'a arrache les cheveux_,"
+"_Il me donne des coups-de-pied_," "_Il m'a lacere la figure de ses
+ongles_." It is noticeable that our instructor as a rule endeavours
+to make the possessive pronoun agree with the substantive in number
+and gender in orthodox Portuguese fashion, and that like a true
+grammatical patriot he insists upon the substantive having the same
+gender as in his native tongue; therefore "_as unhas_" must be
+rendered "hers nails" and "_vossas civilidades_" "yours civilities."
+By this time no one will be disposed to contradict our inimitable
+Pedro when he remarks "_E facteo_" giving the translation as "He has
+the word for to laugh," a construction bearing a suspicious
+resemblance to "_Il a le mot pour rire._" "He do the devil at four"
+has no reference to an artful scheme for circumventing the Archfiend
+at a stated hour, but is merely a simulacrum of the well-known gallic
+idiomatic expression "_Il fait le diable a quatre._" Truly this is
+excellent fooling; _Punch_ in his wildest humour, backed by the whole
+colony of Leicester Square, could not produce funnier English.
+"He burns one's self the brains," "He was fighted in duel," "They
+fight one's selfs together," "He do want to fall," would be more
+intelligible if less picturesque in their original form of "_Il se
+brule la cervelle_," "_Il s'cet battu en duel_," "_lis se battent
+ensemble_," "_Il manque de tomber_." The comic vein running through
+the "Familiar Phrases" is so inexhaustible that space forbids further
+quotation from this portion of the book, which may be appropriately
+closed with "Help to a little most the better yours terms," a
+mysterious adjuration, which a reference to the original Portuguese
+leads one to suppose may be a daring guess at "_Choisissez un pen
+mieux vos paroles_."
+
+In the second part, entitled "Familiar Dialogues," the fun grows fast
+and furious. Let us accompany our mad wag upon "The walk." "You hear
+the bird's gurgling?" he enquires, and then rapturously exclaims
+"Which pleasure! which charm! The field has by me a thousand
+charms"; after this, to the question "Are you hunter? Will you go to
+the hunting in one day this week?" he responds "Willingly; I have not
+a most pleasure in the world. There is some game on they cantons."
+Proceeding from "game" to "gaming" we soon run aground upon the word
+"_jeu_," which as we know does duty in French both for a game and a
+pack of cards. "At what pack will you that we does play?" "To the
+cards." Of course this is "_A quel Jeu voulez vous que nous
+Jouions?_" "_Aux cartes_;" and further on "This time I have a great
+deal pack," "_Cette fois j'ai un jeu excellent!_"
+
+Now let us listen to our friend at his tailor's: his greeting is
+perky--almost slangy. "Can you do me a coat?" he enquires, but
+quickly drivels down to "What cloth will you do to?" and then to the
+question "What will you to double (_doubler_) the coat?" obtains the
+satisfactory answer "From something of duration. I believe to you
+that." After requesting to have his garment "The rather that be
+possible," he overwhelms the procrastinating man of cloth with the
+stern remark "You have me done to expect too," evidently a bold
+version of "_Vous m' avez fait trop attendre_," which draws forth the
+natural excuse "I did can't to come rather." Passing by a number of
+good things which one would like to analyse if space permitted, we
+arrive at "For to ride a horse," a fine little bit of word painting
+almost Carlylean in its grotesqueness. "Here is a horse who have a
+ bad looks. He not sail know to march, he is pursy, he is foundered.
+Don't you are ashamed to give me a jade as like? he is unshoed, he is
+with nails up; it want to lead to the farrier." "Let us prick
+(_piquons_) go us more fast, never I was seen a so much bad beast;
+she will not nor to bring forward neither put back." "Strek him the
+bridle," cries the horsedealer, "Hold him the rein sharters." "Pique
+stron gly, make to marsh him." "I have pricked him enough. But
+I can't to make marsh him," replies the indignant client. "Go down, I
+shall make marsh," declares the dealer; upon which the incensed
+equestrian rejoins "Take care that he not give you a foot kicks," and
+the "coper" sardonically but somewhat incoherently concludes with
+"Then he kicks for that I look? Sook here if I knew to tame hix."
+
+After the "Familiar Dialogues" we come upon a series of letters from
+celebrated personages, who would be puzzled to recognize themselves
+in their new dresses; and a collection of anecdotes which may be
+taken singly after dinner as a gentle promoter of digestion; the
+whole being appropriately concluded with "Idiotisms and Proverbs,"
+between which it must be confessed the distinction is purely
+imaginary; the following are a few gems: "Its are some blu stories"
+(_contes bleus_); "Nothing some money, nothing some Swiss," "He sin
+in trouble water" (confusion of _pecher_ and _pecher_). "A horse
+baared don't look him the tooth," "The stone as roll not heap up not
+foam," _mousse_ meaning both foam and moss, of course the wrong
+meaning is essential to a good "idiotism." "To force to forge,
+becomes smith" (_a force de forger on devient forgeron_). "To
+craunch the marmoset" and "To fatten the foot" may terminate the
+list, and are incontestably more idiotic, although scarcely so
+idiomatic as "_Croquer le marmot_" and "_Graisser lapatte_."
+
+The column in Portuguese which runs throughout the original work is
+omitted, and only a sufficient number of the English extracts are
+culled to enable the reader to form a just idea of the
+unintentionally humorous style that an author may fall into who
+attempts to follow the intricacies of "English as she is spoke" by
+the aid of a French dictionary and a phrasebook.
+
+It is to be trusted the eccentric "Guide" to which this short sketch
+is intended to serve as Introduction--and, so far as may be,
+elucidation--is not a fair specimen of Portuguese or Brazilian
+educational literature; if such be the case the schoolmaster is
+indeed "abroad," and one may justly fear that his instruction--to
+quote once more the Preface--"only will be for to accustom the
+Portuguese pupils, or foreign, to speak very bad any of the mentioned
+idioms."
+

+
+ Preface.
+
+ [Author's]
+
+_A CHOICE of_ familiar dialogues, _clean of gallicisms, and despoiled
+phrases, it was missing yet to studious Portuguese and brazilian
+Youth; and also to persons of others nations, that wish to know the
+Portuguese language. We sought all we may do, to correct that want,
+composing and divising the present little work in two parts. The
+first includes a greatest vocabulary proper names by alphabetical
+order; and the second forty three_ Dialogues _adapted to the usual
+precisions of the life. For that reason we did put, with a scrupulous
+exactness, a great variety own expressions to english and Portuguese
+idioms; without to attach us selves (as make some others) almost at a
+literal translation; translation what only will be for to accustom
+the Portuguese pupils, or-foreign, to speak very bad any of the
+mentioned idioms._
+
+_We were increasing this second edition with a phraseology, in the
+first part, and some familiar letters, anecdotes, idiotisms,
+proverbs, and to second a coin's index._
+
+_The_ Works _which we were confering for this labour, fond use us for
+nothing; but those what were publishing to Portugal, or out, they
+were almost all composed for some foreign, or for some national
+little acquainted in the spirit of both languages. It was resulting
+from that carelessness to rest these_ Works _fill of imperfections,
+and anomalies of style; in spite of the infinite typographical faults
+which some times, invert the sense of the periods. It increase not to
+contain any of those_ Works _the figured pronunciation of the english
+words, nor the prosodical accent in the Portuguese; indispensable
+object whom wish to speak the english and Portuguese languages
+correctly._
+
+_We expect then, who the little book (for the care what we wrote him,
+and for her typographical correction) that may be worth the
+acceptation of the studious persons, and especially of the Youth, at
+which we dedicate him particularly._

+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.

+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
