In Portugal, likewise, laudable efforts are making to banish ignorance and sloth, and to emulate the improvements in other European countries. And in this patriotic undertaking, the Members of the Royal Academy at Lisbon, founded in the year 1779, by the Duke de Lafoens, uncle to the present queen, have shown themselves eminently conspicuous. The first volume of their "Memoirs," printed in the year 1797, abounds in curious and valuable papers, relative to Portuguese literature, natural philosophy, natural history, astronomy, and pure mathematics; from the dissemination of which, together with other numerous useful works printed and published under their inspection, a happy change may be fairly augured in the character and manners of the Portuguese.
