Lisbon: Impressão Regia, 1830-31. Contemporary calf.. Faint damp staining in some upper margins, some discolouration.. A complete set of 27 numbers of the periodical, which was Macedo's last work, the last number being incomplete owing to his final illness. "In his political periodicals . . (Macedo) puts forth all his spice and venom . . he bullies and crushes his opponents in the raciest vernacular" (Bell, Portuguese Literature, p. 282). The last leaf contains two sonnets on the death of Padre Macedo signed J.J.P.L. (José Joaquim Pedro Lopes) (recto) and an index (verso). Lacking the portrait of the poet engraved by N.J. Possollo which is sometimes present. Azevedo-Samodães 1890 "periódico curioso e muito estimado."

Description:
Bruxelles, Melines, Cans... 1854. This is the official French version of the history of the Italians (Beaumont-Vassy does not admit to an Italy) from 1815 to 1850. In his version, the Congress of Vienna served to establish Austrian dominance in the Italian states. Austrian misrule resulted in dangerous unrest among Italians, which resulted in an unfortunate revolution. Fortunately, the French Army at Rome suppressed the irresponsible brigands led by Garibaldi, and the future, under benign French supervision, will restore tranquility to the peninsula. This copy is from the library of Nicholas Brown, Minister of the United States to Rome in 1848-50, whose sympathies were with Italian republicans. Hard Cover. 2 p.l., 292 pages, leather spine, very good copy. Stock#OB383.
