Lisbon: Impressão Regia, 1830-31. Contemporary calf.. Faint damp staining in some upper margins, some discolouration.. A complete set of 27 numbers of the periodical, which was Macedo's last work, the last number being incomplete owing to his final illness. "In his political periodicals . . (Macedo) puts forth all his spice and venom . . he bullies and crushes his opponents in the raciest vernacular" (Bell, Portuguese Literature, p. 282). The last leaf contains two sonnets on the death of Padre Macedo signed J.J.P.L. (José Joaquim Pedro Lopes) (recto) and an index (verso). Lacking the portrait of the poet engraved by N.J. Possollo which is sometimes present. Azevedo-Samodães 1890 "periódico curioso e muito estimado."

Description:
London: Printed by J. Barfield for Cadell and Davis, and Others, 1800. Octavo. 2nd edition. Volume one. Translated from the French. 379pp., three folding maps, (one very large map has old repair to fold). This is basically a reprint of the 1797 first edition with a few changes and corrections and of course with added maps. He had planned a five volume set over the next couple of years 1800-1801. Bound in full calf, spine flat and decorated in gilt, joints rubbed and somewhat fragile, closed edge tear to last page. Author's note: "It is scarcely necessary to say, that the high price to which paper has lately risen, and the still greater increase of expence, incurred by the addition of the maps, do not permit the price of this volume to be left the same as that of the first edition". A good copy.
