First Edition. 4°, contemporary crimson straight–grained morocco (half–dozen tiny to small wormholes in binding, small scrape on back cover, other minor wear to extremities), smooth spine richly gilt, green morocco lettering piece, gilt letter, gilt border on covers of bunches of grapes alternating with vine leaves, gilt tooling on edges of covers, marbled endleaves, all text block edges gilt. Woodcut royal Portuguese arms on title-page. Very minor worming to inner margin of final nine leaves, not affecting text. Overall very good to fine condition. 244 pp. *** FIRST EDITION. The Diorama includes a long section on Brazil (pp. 77-98), in which Saldanha discusses the effect of the Revolution of 1820 on Brazil, and whether and how Portugal should be reunited with Brazil. There are also sections about Brazil on pp. 21, 114 and 193-5. Despite this, the work is not listed in Borba or Rodrigues.

In 1854 he was named Conde de Alpedrinha. His works include a history of Portugal from the French invasion in 1807 to the coronation of D. Miguel. *** Innocêncio V, 122.
