Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book, first published in 1822, provides a comprehensive historical and statistical overview of the Kingdom of Portugal and the Algarve, focusing on the early 19th century. The author, a respected geographer and historian, offers insights into the religious, social, and economic conditions of the time. The book begins by discussing the introduction of Christianity to the Iberian Peninsula and the subsequent establishment of the Catholic Church as the dominant religious force in Portugal. The author then examines the role of the Inquisition in shaping Portuguese society. The text also delves into the ecclesiastical divisions of the kingdom, highlighting the influence of the various religious orders and the presence of exempt jurisdictions. The author provides detailed information on the clergy, including their ranks, revenues, and educational institutions, and discusses the establishment of charitable organizations and hospitals. The book also explores the presence of religious minorities, such as Jews and Muslims, and their treatment under Portuguese rule. The author concludes by analyzing the character and customs of the Portuguese people, highlighting their politeness, devotion, and love of poetry. The book offers a valuable historical perspective on the development of Portuguese society, religion, and culture, making it a valuable resource for scholars and anyone interested in the history of Portugal. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
