Two new books have just been published by the Harvard University Press within the past week, and two more will come out soon. Of the four books, three are by members of the Harvard faculty, and one is a reprint of an old diary.
J.D.M. Ford '94, Smith professor of the French and Spanish languages in Harvard, has collected and edited the correspondence of King John III of Portugal, which has been published under the title of "Letters of John III of Portugal". As only twenty three of the letters have been published before, the present volume offers fresh material of value to the historian as well as the lay reader. The letters are in the original Portuguese but a modern Portuguese glossary is provided of some of the more archaic forms.
The second book recently published is "Concord Fight," being the narrative of ensign Jeremy Lister in the American Revolution. The material deals with April 19, 1775, and sheds new light on American History.
