Return to Trieste--Translation of the Lusiads of Camoens--Lady Burton and the Critics--Palmer's Expedition to the Sinaitic Peninsula--Gladstonian " inaccuracy "--Fate of Palmer--An Expedition resolved upon--Burton invited to share in it--English officialdom --End of the Expedition--Return to Trieste--The 'Book of the Sword'--Eight months' illness--A busy winter--The reward of forty-seven years of public service. After a brief holiday Burton returned to Trieste. Happily for himself he has resources which render him comparatively independent of the place where his lot may be cast. Upon such he now fell back, and his time was greatly occupied with the completion of his translation of the works of the one great Portuguese poet, Camoens.

Burton has redressed those wrongs. His translation, which appeared in 1881, of the 'Lusiads' (os Lusiadas), was now followed by two volumes of' Life and Commentary, ' to the former of which Lady Burton appended a very curious and amusing postscript, Reviewing the Reviewer.

WHEN the six weeks' cure was over, Richard was hurried by his guardian across France and Southern England to the rendezvous. The grandmother and the two aunts finding Great Cumberland Street too hot, had taken country quarters at Hampstead. Grandmamma Baker received the lads with something like disappointment. She would have been better contented had they been six feet high, bony as Highland cattle, with freckled faces and cheek-bones like horns. Miss Georgina Baker embraced and kissed her nephews with effusion: she had not been long parted from them. Mrs. Burton, the other aunt, had never seen them for ten years and of course could not recognise them. They found two very nice little...
