In 1838, Joseph and Henry Bullar set out on a voyage from England to
spend seven months in the Azores. This extraordinary journey led them to
the islands of S. Miguel, Faial, Pico, S. Jorge, Flores, and Corvo.
Wittily written, the charming account of these travels is most endearing
to modern readers, giving accurate descriptions of the customs,
religion, education, trade, and agriculture of the bygone Azorean
society.
