A special edition, limited to 120 numbered copies for sale, published as part of “The Douro Series”, by The Port Lover’s Library (Isaac Oelgart).

It is not clear whether or not the author had any link to either the Port shipper or the Edinburgh Wine Merchants of the same name, but he does appear to have been connected to the trade in some way. Although interesting, this is not a work of great quality and the text jumps around from one subject to another with little in the way of logical flow. There also appears to be a fair amount of plagiarism of the work of H. L. Feuerheerd from three years earlier.

One for the collector rather than the enthusiast seeking to learn about Port.

Originally published in 1902, this edition was published in 1996.
