Important previously unpublished work. The author, a Brazilian born in Colonia do Sacramento (now in Uruguay) who earned degrees in philosophy and law from Coimbra, came to the United States (1798-1801) to study agriculture and bridge construction for the Portuguese government, then visited England. When he returned to Portugal, full of the liberal ideas he had acquired during his travels, he was imprisoned as a Freemason and an opponent of the monarchy. He escaped and fled to England in 1805, where several years later he began publishing the enormously influential Correio Brasiliense. After Brazilian independence was declared in 1822, he was appointed Brazilian consul general in England by D. Pedro I. Among his other publications was Cartas sobre a framaçoneria, first published in 1805 with a false Madrid imprint (actually printed in London by W. Lewis), first book on the subject by a Brazilian author, and the first book on the subject in the Portuguese language.
