200 RECOLLECTIONS OF
the year 1500 by King Dom Emmanuel, to celebrate the dis-
covery of the Indies, does great credit to the architect who
exhibits the model. It shows that mixture of Gothic, Moor-
ish and Indian architecture,,which is peculiar to Portuguese
edifices.
A few words will suffice to describe the narrow band
allotted to Greece. A very handsome trophy of marbles of
all colours forms its chief attraction. We may also mention
as natural produce, cereal, wines and sponge • and as manu-
factures, richly embroided garments, finely woven gauzes arid
jewels that are not devoid of taste.- , .
The statue of Penelope is nobly executed, and the statuette
of Alexander the Great is well modelled. A cenotaph bear-
ing the inscription EK TOY EPrASTHPIOY is ornamented
with a good basso-relievo ; as to the Greek pictures we shall
be charitable enough to say nothing respecting them. Shades
of Zeuxis and Apelles> be merciful unto your descendants !
