About This Item
Lisbon, Imprimerie Nationale, 1855.. First Edition in French. Large 8°, recent navy half calf, gilt spine with raised bands in six compartments, front printed wrapper bound in. Woodcut Portuguese royal arms on title page. Light browning. In very good condition. 71 pp., 5 folding lithographic maps and plans. *** First Edition in French of a work written to supplement the Visconde de Santarem's Demonstração. Two of the folding plans show Portuguese forts in Angola, one shows the provinces of Mosullo and Bombe (1790-1791), and one is a topographical map of Ambriz. This French edition has two more plates than the Portuguese edition: one showing the coast of Angola, another a plan of the Fort of Cabinda. The captions and legends, and in some cases the place names, are in French rather than Portuguese. *** Cf. Innocêncio I, 384: the Portuguese edition (same printer and year), calling for only 3 "plantas." Porbase locates the work at Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal and Biblioteca João Paulo II-Universidade Católica Portuguesa (2 copies at each). Jisc locates copies at British Library, Glasgow University, Manchester University, and Sheffield University. NUC: DLC, InU, CtY, PHi.
