| dc.description.abstract | Patrick Brydone in his travel account, A Tour through Sicily and Malta, published in London in 1773, provides us with a vivid account of his personal encounter with the Portuguese Grand Master Emanuel Pinto de Fonseca during the last years of his reign. "He has now been at the head of this singular little state for upwards of thirty years. He received us with great politeness, and was highly pleased to find that some of us had been to Portugal ... He is a clear-headed, sensible little old man; which, at so advanced a period of life, is very uncommon. Although he is considerably upwards of ninety, he retains all the faculties of his mind in perfection. He has no minister, but manages everything himself; and has immediate information of the most minute occurrences ... His household attendance and court are all very princely; and as grand master of Malta, he is more absolute, and possesses more power than most sovereign princes." [Excerpt] | en_GB |
