Viceroy of India, friend, I the king greet you well. Having seen what you reported - as you received order to do - upon the conduct of J osé da Fonseca Coutinho at the rivers of Sofala, with regard to the expulsion of. The king and the introduction of. Another who was afterwards delivered up' and put to death by him who had been expelled, and upon other incidents which took' placeon this occasion, by reason of the said introduction, and' also the reasons which induced you not to proceed with the examination of the said case, I think fit to inform you that you. Acted prudently in suspending the said examination; and as you: represent that you consider the said J osé da Fonseca Coutinho to be incapable of filling the post of general of the rivers, and that it is not advisable that the grant of the said post, which had been. Bestowed upon him, should be carried into effect, I have been pleased to resolve that his patent shall not be sent, and that the said< post shall be filled by a subject capable of giving a good account thereof.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a collection of letters and documents from the early 18th century, written between the Portuguese king and the viceroys of Portuguese India. It offers a unique glimpse into the complex relationship between the Portuguese crown and its far-flung empire in Africa. The letters reveal the challenges faced by the Portuguese in maintaining their control over the African coast, including the threat of piracy, the need to balance trade interests with religious concerns, and the difficulty of governing a vast territory with limited resources. The documents also provide valuable insights into the lives of the African peoples who came into contact with the Portuguese, and the impact of European colonialism on their societies. Ultimately, this book contributes to our understanding of the history of Portuguese imperialism and the global trade networks of the early modern world.
