18540078London, Longman, Brown, Green and Longmans, 1854. First edition. Octavo, 228 x 150 mm, (vi) 384 pp. Publisher's binding, work on the covers, flat spine, author's name and title printed in slightly faded gilt. Portrait of Dom Pedro II as frontispiece. Illustrated by Sir W. Gore Ouseley, KCB, and Sir Charles Hotham, KCB, for Paraguay. Contents, Explanatory Preface, Introduction, 15 chapters plus an additional chapter on the Falkland Islands, two fold-out maps (one of the Falkland Islands and one of colored South America) at the end of the book. "The author wishes here to present an overview of the position and condition of Brazil in general, to accustom those who follow him in these pages to recognize the points he will expound as a result of his experience, particularly concerning the machinery of commercial matters in Brazil... Men competent to speak of Brazil have either assumed that the public knew almost as much as they did, and neglected very interesting subjects, thinking they meant little, and talking too much about the trivialities of their personal journey, or, on the contrary, have applied an exhaustive process to discuss history and topography in an almost intolerable level of detail. The author of these lines... has endeavored to navigate between these two extremes as much as he could." (Chapter V, translated) A lavishly illustrated, almost complete work (descriptions generally indicate three fold-out maps; this one includes two), which allows us to follow the evolution of imperial Brazil after works such as those of Henry Koster or Saint-Hilaire. ****** Londres, Longman, Brown, Green and Longmans, 1854. Édition originale. In-8, 228 x 150 mm, (vi) 384 pp. Reliure éditeur, travail sur les plats, dos lisse, nom d'auteur et titre imprimés en doré quelque peu effacé.

Sommaire, Préface explicative, Introduction, XV chapitres plus un chapitre supplémentaire sur les îles Falkland, deux cartes dépliantes (une des Falkland et une de l'Amérique du Sud colorée) en fin d'ouvrage. "L'auteur souhaite ici présenter un aperçu de la position et de la condition du Brésil en général, pour habituer ceux qui le suivront dans ces pages à reconnaître les points qu'il va exposer à la suite de son expérience, en particulier concernant la machinerie des sujets commerciaux au Brésil... les hommes compétents pour parler du Brésil ont soit présumé que le public en savait presque autant qu'eux, et négligé des sujets très intéressants, en pensant qu'ils ne signifiaient pas grand-chose, et en parlant trop des trivialités de leur voyage personnel, ou au contraire ont appliqué un processus exhaustif pour parler de l'histoire et de la topographie avec un niveau de détail presque intolérable. L'auteur de ces lignes... s'est efforcé de naviguer entre ces deux extrêmes autant qu'il l'a pu." (chap. V, traduit) Ouvrage abondamment illustré, quasi complet (les descriptions indiquent généralement 3 cartes dépliantes, celui-ci en comprend 2), qui permet de suivre l'évolution du Brésil impérial après des œuvres comme celle d'Henry Koster ou de Saint-Hilaire.

Volumes 2 ONLY of the three-volume set. Text is in English. Subtitled: In quo plerasque justi historici dotes desiderari plerosque naevos inesse ostendit Gratianus Lucius Hibernus qui etiam aliquot res memorabiles Hibernicas veteris et vovae memoriae passim e re nata huic operi inseruit. Cambrensis Eversus has been generally esteemed one of the most valuable works on the history of Ireland. Viewed merely as a refutation of Giraldus de Barry it was on some points unsuccessful but its comprehensive plan embracing a great variety of well-digested and accurate information on every period of Irish history makes it a valuable work. Lynch defends the cessation of 1643 the peace of 1646 and 1648 condemns the nuncio and approves the general policy of Ormonde. This volume contain the bookplate of Peter Lanyon-Orgill 1924-2002 a bizarre linguistic charlatan who was responsible for a rather large body of work that he apparently purloined from legitimate linguists over his lengthy career.
