T. W. H. Tolbort —History of the Portuguese in India. [No. 3, 
lished in French in 1687, but there is a Portuguese translation, published 
at Goa in 1866 under the auspices of Sr. Rivara. This translation contains 
some valuable notes, and adds as an appendix the account of the Inquisition 
given by Dr. Claudius Buchanan in 1808 in the Christian Researches. 
A narrative of the expedition against Ormus, when the Persians and 
English united to expel the Portuguese in 1622. This is contained in the 
collections by Purchas and Kerr. 
Baldseus, the Dutch historian of the final struggle between Hollanders 
and Portuguese. The translation of his Travels is in Churchill’s Collection. 
Tavernier gives a description of Goa, a narrative of the persecution 
in Japan, a sketch of Dutch history in the East, and an account of the capture 
of Cochin. Altogether, Tavernier is a very valuable writer for our present 
purpose, as his information refers precisely to the period when Portuguese 
supremacy in India was disappearing. 
There are numerous travellers a little later than Tavernier, whose 
narratives contain frequent references to the Portuguese. Among these 
may be named Bernier, Nieuhoff, Carreri, Fryer, and Hamilton. 
Lastly, there is a modern account of Goa, written in English by the 
Rev. Cottenean de Ivloguen and published at Madras in 1831. This contains 
a complete historical sketch of Goa from 1509 clown to 1812, and gives a 
description of all the churches, convents, and other public buildings, accom¬ 
panied by a map. It is, in fact, a modern guide to Goa. There is a 
Portuguese translation, which I have not seen. Probably the notes of the 
translation are of value, as it was published in Goa itself at a comparatively 
recent date (1858). 
There is another modern account of the Portuguese possessions in 
Asia, by Gongalo de Magalhaes Teixera Pinto, also published at Goa with 
notes by Sr. Rivara. It is a mere pamphlet, but it contains some official 
documents regarding the transfer of Bombay to the English. 
As the Dutch were for sixty years the rivals of the Portuguese 
in Asia, it is reasonable to suppose that voluminous information may 
be collected from Dutch authorities. Besides the early Dutch voyages, 
and the travels of Bald sous already referred to, there is the great 
work ofValentyn, ‘ Oud en Nieuw Oost Indien.’ Tennent refers frequent¬ 
ly to this work. There is one copy in our own library at Calcutta, and 
there is another, wanting the first volume, at Madras. No doubt, a student 
acquainted with Dutch would find the works of numerous other authors at 
Batavia and Amsterdam. 
It remains to notice official records and periodicals. I believe there are 
now few records of value at Goa. All that survived have been transferred 
to Lisbon, and are to be found there in the Torre do Tombo and other col¬ 
lections of Archives. But a very valuable work has been published at Goa
