About This Item
Paris, Guillard, Aillaud & Ca., 1884.. FIRST and ONLY EDITION. 8°, recent crimson half morocco, spine with raised bands in 6 compartments, author in second, title in fourth, place and date at foot; original gray printed wrappers bound in (slightly browned). Overall in very good to fine condition. (3 ll.), 410 pp. *** FIRST and ONLY EDITION. Based on lectures on Portuguese and Brazilian nationality, language, and literature, given in Rio de Janeiro in 1880 before an audience that included the emperor of Brazil. Pereira da Silva (1817-1898), a native of Rio de Janeiro who studied in Paris, was an important historian as well as a politician, "outstanding in the fields of criticism and literary history" (Bandeira p. 99). He published numerous articles in major Brazilian periodicals, some of which (as here) were collected into books. Sacramento Blake praises him as "uma das pennas mais fecundas que o Brazil tem produzido, adquirindo para seu autor a mais alta e merecida reputação, tanto no paiz, como fóra delle." *** Porbase locates 3 copies, all at the Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal, and gives the collation as 410 pp.; but the digitized copy has the same number of preliminary leaves as ours.
