Signature of Manuel Caetano da Cruz in bottom margin of front wrapper. 54 pp., lithographic frontisportrait of Feijó. *** FIRST and ONLY EDITION. Diogo Antônio Feijó was ordained Roman Catholic priest on 25 February 1809. He was elected (1821) to the Portuguese Côrtes to represent Brazil. Along with other Brazilian deputies Feijó refused to sign the Portuguese Constitution and later criticized the authoritarian nature of the first Brazilian Constitution (1824). As a deputy in the General Assembly (1826-1829, 1830-1833), Feijó attacked the regime of Emperor Pedro I. After the emperor's abdication (7 April 1831) and the election of the Permanent Regency (17 June 1831), Feijó assumed the office of justice minister, but failed to bring social reconciliation and resigned (3 August 1832). In July 1833 he was elected senator and served on the Statistics Committee (1834). Political instability in Brazil of early 1830s brought about the adoption of the Additional Act (Ato Adicional, 1834) changing the structure of government. Feijó was elected to the post of sole regent of the Empire (7 Apr 1835). His government attempted to stop the process of disintegration, but had to deal with two major revolts in the provinces of Para (revolt known as Cabanagem) and Rio Grande do Sul (Farroupilha). With his health declining and facing severe criticism, Feijó resigned the office of regent on 19 September 1837 and was succeeded by Pedro de Araújo Lima. He returned to the Senate as its president (1839), but suffered a hemorrhage, which left him partially paralyzed. In 1842 Feijó sided with the liberals, who rose in arms protesting against the outcome of parliamentary elections. He was arrested during the suppression of the revolution by the Duke of Caxias and exiled to Vitória, Espírito Santo. A few months later he was freed and returned to São Paulo. The author, a native of Alagoas (born 1816), took his degree in medicine from the Faculdade de Medicina in Bahia. He was a vocal opponent of João Vicente Martins when the latter introduced Hahnemann's homoeopathic medicine to Brazil, but after a few months saw the merits of Martins' arguments and became an an equally vocal proponent, publishing numerous books on the subject. He also published many political, historical and literary works, and was editor of the Correio mercantil, a daily newspaper in Bahia, and founder of the newspaper O Medico do povo.*** For the author, see Sacramento Blake I, 34-38, who does not mention this title.

First edition of this encyclopaedic work on the political, economic, and social history of Brazil from the 15th to the mid-19th century, written by the Brazilian physician and autodidact historian Alexandre José de Mello Moraes. Uncommon in commerce with only two incomplete sets appearing at auction; it is rarely seen complete due to its slightly complex publication history. The set published issued by two different houses over a period of five years. Volumes I and II were published by Soares de Pinho, and volumes III, IV, and volume I (part II) were published by J. J. Patrocino. A second edition of the work was issued in 1866-8. Born in the Brazilian state of Alaoas, Mello Moraes (18161882), was orphaned at an early age and taken in by two uncles, both of them in religious orders. Despite his early adversities, Moraes qualified as a medical doctor in 1840. He began his career as an allopathic practitioner in Bahia, later becoming an early promoter of homeopathic medicine, and president of the Instituto Homaeopatico do Brazil. Although not a trained historian, he meticulously collected historically valuable documents and manuscripts towards the compilation of the present publication. In addition to this, Mello Moraes wrote more than 45 books, pamphlets, and dictionaries covering history, literature, medicine, and homeopathy. His other notable works include O Brazil historico ("Historic Brazil"), 1864; A independencia e imperio do Brazil ("The independence and Empire of Brazil"), 1877; Phitographia ou botanica brasileira, applicada á medicina, ás artes e á industria ("Phytographia or Brazilian Botany, Applied to Medicine, Arts, and Industry"), 1878. Mello Moraes immersed himself in politics representing his home province from 1869 to 1872. He aligned himself with the opposition to Pedro II's government. In 1865, he wrote that "it would truly be a national day, if the country's government, true to the oath that it took, kept in mind that the constitution that governs us, the best constitution that we know of, is like the Ark of the Tabernacle, which no one could touch without falling dead" (Kraay, p. 250). The renowned Portuguese bibliographer, Inocêncio Francisco da Silva elaborates on the impact that Mello Moraes's strained relationship with the government had on the present publication: "The author was forced to suspend the production of this work since the proceeds from the sale were not enough to cover even half of the printing expenses. In a recently published pamphlet entitled A Posteridade he expands on his grievances more heartily, complaining about the lack of assistance given by the government to such an important publication. The lack of assistance becomes more curious as the legislative chambers decreed that the same government would order a thousand copies of the Corographia to help with the printing expenses, an order that was never to be carried out" (Francisco da Silva, p. 37). His son Alexandre José de Mello Moraes Filho (1844-1919), was similarly a physician and historiographer, and was importantly one of the first chroniclers of life of the Cariocas, the common people of Rio de Janeiro life. Mello Moraes Filho was also a fierce abolitionist, who denounced the "iniquity of slavery past and present, Indian and African" (Treece, p. 238). His magnum opus, the Patria Selvagem ("Savage Fatherland"), revises the traditional Imperial foundation myth "in order accommodate the forgotten facts of Indian slavery and thereby denounce the legacy of social injustice that underpinned [the] Empire" (ibid.). Provenance: With the bookplate of Eugénio Eduardo de Andrea da Cunha e Freitas, on verso of front free endpaper of volume I. Freitas (1912-2000) was a prominent Portuguese lawyer, historian, and genealogist, who wrote more than 400 academic articles and books, and contributed to the Grande Enciclopédia Portuguesa e Brasileira. A leaf of neat notes, possibly by Freitas, is pasted in at the end of volume III. Additionally, with marginal pencil notes throughout (occasionally in blue and red). Each volume with a small contemporary slip of pink paper annotated "Garnier", tipped in at half-titles, the set possibly having been purchased from or bound for the famous Rio bookseller-publishers Livraria de Baptiste Louis Garnier.
