About This Item
Lisbon, Na Nova Officina de João Rodrigues Neves, 1809.. First Edition in Portuguese. 8°, disbound. In very good condition. 15 pp. *** First edition in Portuguese of a work published the previous year at Valencia, as ¿Que se debe a Valencia? Following the brutal massacre of hundreds of Madrileños on May 3, 1808, spontaneous uprisings against the French erupted throughout Spain. In Valencia, mobs butchered over 300 French citizens. General Moncey was sent with 29,000 troops to pacify the area, but was forced to retreat. The author of this pamphlet mentions uprisings elsewhere (Asturias, Jaen, Tudela, Segovia, Santander, etc.), but extols the superiority of Valencians, who apparently repelled the French using little more than raw courage.*** Ayres Magalhães de Sepúlveda, Dicionário bibliográfico da Guerra Peninsular III, 128. Biblioteca Pública de Braga, Catálogo do Fundo Barca-Oliveira, p. 201. Not in Innocêncio or Fonseca, Pseudónimos. Porbase locates two copies, both at the Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal.
