SKETCHES of Portuguese life, manners, costume, and character / by A. P. D. G.- London: Geo. B. Whittaker, 1826.- XXV, [3], 364 p.: il.; 23 cm.- E.
Rare title in the foreign bibliography on Portugal, whose author, who signs only with his initials, remains to this day unidentified. It is known only that he served in the army in Lisbon and accompanied the royal family in their retreat to Brazil. The 20 aquatints (plus an engraving with musical notation of a modinha), hand-coloured, that illustrate the edition, mainly represent customs and scenes of daily life in Lisbon and Rio de Janeiro and present a caricatural and satirical feature. Complete copy, according to the “directions to the binder”, including the front cover sheet (often missing), untrimmed, slightly handled, with some browning and occasional light stains; the colour of the prints caused some offset on the opposite page. Good binding, full red shagreen, from the 19th/20th century, with Greek meander border on the covers, smooth spine decorated in gold, simple rolls on the squares and thickness of the folders. Keeps the original endpapoers on marbled paper. Duarte de Sousa, 3. Tooley, 453. Foulché-Delbosc, 255.

ALPOIM, José Fernandes Pinto.- Exame de bombeiros, que comprehende dez tratados; o primeiro da Geometria, o segundo de huma nova Trigonometria, o terceiro da Longemetria[...] Obra nova, e ainda nam escrita de author Portuguez, utilissima para se ensinarem os novos Soldados Bombeiros, por perguntas e respostas...- En Madrid: En la Officina de Francisco Martinezabad, Año de M. DCC. XXXXVIII. [1748].- [40], 444 [i. é 442] p., 1 tabela desdobr.: 1 retrato, XVIII [i. é 20] gravuras desdobr.; 20 cm.- E.
José Fernandes Alpoim (1700-1765) was born in Viana do Castelo and in 1738 he traveled to Brazil where he became famous as an architect and military engineer, having reached the rank of brigadier. In Rio de Janeiro he taught in artillery and fortification courses for which he wrote two treatises: “Exame de Artilheiros” (Lisbon, 1744) and the present “Exame de Bombeiros”. The edition is illustrated with a portrait of Gomes Freire de Andrade (1685-1763), governor of Rio, to whom the work is dedicated, engraved by Olivarius Cor (Ernesto Soares, História, p. 180 and nº 500), an allegorical vignette at the beginning of the dedication and 20 engravings (19 leaflets), numbered from I to XVIII (from engravings II and XI there are two different proofs) by José Francisco Chaves (Ernesto Soares, História, p. 171). Particularly enigmatic is Figure XVII that presents the subscription: José Franc. Chaves fecit — Rio 1749. This last indication has led some historians and bibliographers to support the hypothesis that the engraving (and even the edition) may have been opened in Rio de Janeiro, a controversial claim that remains unproven to this day. The pagination has an error: da p. 372 moves to p. 375, without any gaps in the text or in the section. Copy a little trimmed, but clean, keeping all engravings fresh and well folded. Contemporary binding, full sheepskin, slightly worn, with traces of wormholes (without affecting the core), retaining the original endpapers, red label and four raised bands on the spine. Inocêncio, IV, p. 326. Borba de Moraes (1983), p. 25/26 (These two famous and rare works by Alpoym constitute a veritable “bibliographic puzzle”). Army Library, 324.

Damião de Góis (1502-1574), historian, diplomat and humanist, born in Alenquer, prominent figure of the Portuguese Renaissance, between 1523 and 1533, was secretary of the Portuguese Factory in Antwerp; from that date onwards, he devoted himself to his historical and literary works, living and corresponding with various humanists, including Erasmus of Rotterdam and Pietro Bembo; in 1548 he assumed the position of main guard of Torre do Tombo; he was persecuted by the Holy Office and was arrested for heresy in 1571. An important collection of texts published in Louvain shortly after the siege of this city, in which the author was involved, having been taken prisoner by the French army. The edition, without pagination, includes some of the texts that would lead the humanist to be arrested by the Inquisition in 1571. Ownership manuscript on the title page: “Letellier conseiller au grand conseil du roy”. This is most likely Michel Le Tellier (1603-1685) who was successively adviser to the Grand Conseil, procurator of the king in Châtelet (Paris), maître de requettes, intendant in Piedmont, secretary of state for war and chancellor-general of Louis XIV (1677). Complete copy (possibly missing the last blank page), with some old handwritten annotations (by Le Tellier?), but in general clean and with good margins. Entire sheepskin contemporary binding, a little worn, with new ties and missing the fly guards. Brunet, II, 1642 (ce recueil est assez recherché). Graesse, III, 102. Sabin, 27690.
