4°, plain blue rear wrapper (front wrapper missing). Faintly dampstained at top toward end. In good to very good condition. 44 pp. *** FIRST and ONLY EDITION. The author had been trying since 1810 to persuade the government to reform the way it ran the royal silk factory. He gives a lengthy history of the government's decrees regarding the factory (pp. 7-28), then discusses how the factory can be revived, whether private silk factories should be permitted, warehouses, accounting, and inspections. In the introduction, Accursio das Neves states that he was spurred to write this Memoria by a notice in the Diario do Governo of September 22, 1821.Accursio das Neves (1766-1834), a noted economist, held various government posts; his writing was primarily concerned with the political implications of commerce. Elected a member of the Real Academia das Sciencias de Lisboa in 1810, he was a defender of absolutism, being one of the principle supporters of D. Miguel in the Côrtes of 1828. As an absolutist, he had been opposed to the liberal ideology behind the revolution of 1820, and the 1822 constitution. On May 14, 1821 he lost his government offices, only to be reinstated in June 1823. Nevertheless, Neves was elected deputy to the Côrtes of 1822. The years 1821-1828 saw the maturing of his political-economic development. Despite the ultra conservative approach to politics, Neves favored industrialization and free trade (while defending a moderate protectionism). As a result of his support for Miguelismo, Neves became an obscure figure after the liberals triumphed toward the end of his life. Today he is regarded as one of the most brilliant Portuguese thinkers and most lucid prose writers of his age - a precursor of modern economic theory in Portugal.*** Innocêncio IV, 181, 458; XII, 196.

Lisbon, Na Officina de Simão Thaddeo Ferreira, 1821, 4°, 44 pp., wrappers; fine copy. First and Only Edition! The factory dated back to 1735 when a large building was erected to house it. By 1745 it was already running at a loss, but was revived under Pombal. One of Portugal's foremost economists of the early 19th century, the author was appointed Director of the Royal Silk Factory in 1810. He complains of gross irregularities on the accounting system, the decision to sell the looms, the lack of raw silk for weaving, and he expresses his frustration that, since Portugal was isolated during the Peninsula War, textile manufacture was not prioritized and pointed out that the British army was buying Portuguese cloth. The factory could have diversified its production There were fewer looms, general apathy prevailed and the workforce was demoralized. For years the factory had been losing money, its losses caused by its bad management and superfluous officials. He recommends the appointment of agents to promote its wares, especially in Le Havre, Marseilles and Genoa. The Junta do Comerao (Board of Trade) was responsible for the administration of the factory, and in 1810 Acúrsio das Neves had become a deputy there, remaining as its secretary until dismissed in 1821, and he was a member of the Lisbon Royal Academy of Sciences. Though written in 1819, the work was not published until 1821, after his dismissal from the post; in 1817 he had pleaded for more investment in the factory (Variedades sobre objectos relativos ds artes, commércio e mamifacturas, vol. II, p 319). He had in 1820 published his Memoria sobre os maos de melhorar a indústria portugueza. Writing in the early 19th century, Adrien Balbi "praised the silks of Portugal as 'remarkable for their variety which imitate perfectly those of Lyons'" (Maxwell, Conflicts and Conspiracies: Brazil & Portugal 1750-1808, p.56).

The text appeared again in the author's Obras completas, [1987?], where it was included in his "Escritos patrióticos". While there may be some subtle connection to patriotism or politics, the work appears to follow its title, dealing with an overview of cosmological and geographical knowledge from an historical point of view. There are chapters on the Earth, stars, planets, the solar system, celestial physics, movement of the Earth, comets, Buffon's theory of the formation of planets, other theories regarding the formation of planets, the shape and size of Earth, other geological considerations about the terrestrial globe, volcanic phenomena, on the origins and causes of subterranean fires and earthquakes, geography of volcanos, volcanos of the Açores (2 chapters), islands formed by volcanos and the so-call Altantis, some memorable earthquakes, meteorites, iron, and other substances which fall to Earth through the atmosphere, a catalogue of falling stones, iron, and other meteoric material, and finally general considerations about fluids which form part of the otherwise solid terrestrial globe.José Accursio das Neves (1766-1834), a noted economist, held various government posts; his writing was primarily concerned with the political implications of commerce.

Lisbon, Na Impressão Regia, 1827, 8°, VII, 405 pp., 1 f., contemporary calf; fine copy. First edition of this detailed and well-documented history of silk production in Portugal, with special emphasis of that of the Royal Silk Factory. The factory began production in 1735, but by 1745 it was already running at a loss, and was revived under Pombal. "In 1757 the junta do comércio took over the bankrupt silk factory in the Lisbon suburb of Rato. The factory had been founded during the thirties by Cardinal da Mota and two French entrepreneurs, Robert Godin and Sibert. Capital had been raised, a company formed, and a large building constructed. The early years had been difficult and during the forties the company's deficits were considerable. The royal takeover placed the junta do comércio in supreme control. . Instead of large capital expenditure on plant and equipment such as undertaken at the foundation of the silk factory of Rato, (Pombal) had seen industrial concentrations grow from individual units where initially a small outlay only had been necessary and returns immediate . . independent producers were integrated with the factory for marketing and dependent on it for their supply of raw materials" (Maxwell, Conflicts and Conspiracies: Brazil & Portugal 1750-1808, p. 51-52).
