Prefácio e notas do Prof. José Pereira Tavares. [Volume I - Relógios Falantes e Visita das Fontes. Volume II - Escritório Avarento e Hospital das Letras]. Colecção Clássicos Sá da Costa. Lisboa. 1959. 2 Volumes de 19x12 cm. Com xx, 271; xxxv, 237 págs. Brochados. Exemplares com título de posse na folha de guarda e sublinhados a tinta. Editados pela primeira vez em 1721 e escritos em meados do século XVII, incluem os seguintes Diálogos: Os Relógios Falantes e A Visita das Fontes têm em comum o assentarem numa semelhante ficção dialógica em que intervêm diferentes interlocutores. Em Os Relógios Falantes, dois relógios, um da cidade e outro do campo, expõem criticamente os vícios da máquina burocrática da época. Por seu turno, em A Visita das Fontes, duas fontes, uma estátua e uma sentinela, anatomizam diferentes tipos humanos do universo cortesão. Em O Escritório Avarento, o autor recorre a quatro moedas para tratar o tema do dinheiro, ora com um sentido apologético, ora mostrando o reverso da corrupção e efeitos morais negativos que lhe andam associados. O Hospital das Letras afasta-se um pouco da encenação e da temática dos restantes apólogos. As personagens são agora Bocalino, Justo Lípsio, Quevedo e o próprio Autor, que percorrem uma biblioteca-hospital em que vão «diagnosticar» - fazendo crítica literária - os achaques que acometem diferentes nomes da República das Letras, entre os quais se contam Gil Vicente, Sá de Miranda, António Ferreira, Camões e Rodrigues Lobo, propondo simultaneamente «remédios». Inserindo-se numa tradição que passa por Quevedo e Cervantes, D. Francisco apresenta-nos um riquíssimo fresco social, imbuído de espírito satírico e animado de intenção moralística.
