De Porquet's Italian Phrases; or, Il Fraseggiatore Toscano. Boston: S. Burdett & Co., 1832.

Reflecting the widespread interest in learning Italian among Americans in this era, this work was published in the same year, 1832, as the Longfellow work in the collection. This is the "third edition, revised and corrected," by Carlo Alfieri, an Italian professor in London. On the verso of title page is listed the printer, Munroe and Francis, Washington-Street, Boston.

There is some evidence that an Italian grammar or phrase book may have been published by J. Avezzana in New York in 1841, not confirmed.
