Discusses why Spain is on the verge of war, arguing that "La tranquillité de l'Europe, l'état intellectuel et moral de cette contrée demandent l'abolition de ces deux grandes difformités sociales, le despotisme et le monachisme espagnols" (p. 81).

Seitdem war er der heftigste Feind des Kaisers" (Wikipedia). - "Monsieur de Pradt a la gloire d'avoir devancé toutes les biographies diffamatoires qui ont pollulé depuis; mais tout ce que le ci-devant aumonier a de verve, de style, d'amertume de coeur, de virus d'ingratitude . tout cela semble avoir été particulièrement réservé pour insulter et ternir l'astre brillant qui brillait au milieu de ces splendeurs subalternes" (Quérard). - Wappen-Exlibris, stellenweise etwas braunfleckig, schönes dekorativ gebundenes Exemplar.

João, the Prince Regent, later King D. João VI. He accompanied the royal family to Brazil in 1807, returning with the King to Portugal in 1821. Shortly afterwards he was sent on an abortive mission to Brazil, and in 1823 he was charged with the thankless task of accompanying the Infante D. Miguel when that prince was sent into forced exile.

The two works were originally published 1798 and 1800, respectively. Michaud calls the first Pradt's most remarkable work, which met with great success in Europe. The second Congress of Rastatt (1797-99) was intended to rearrange the map of Germany by providing compensation for those princes whose lands on the left bank of the Rhine had been seized by France. It had no result, however, as it was ended by the outbreak of the Napoleonic Wars. Pages 196-222 are concerned with European colonies in the Americas and the Caribbean, including Santo Domingo; other chapters discuss the military preparedness of European powers.Pradt (1759-1837) was born in Allanches (Auvergne) and received a doctorate of theology from the Université de Paris in 1786.

This is perhaps the most intellectually impressive of the author's writings, and one of his most important works. It discusses the political economy of European colonies in America, Africa and Asia, from a theoretical, historical, and practical point of view. Chapter II, volume I is titled "Colonies Portugaises" (pp. 12-42). There are similar chapters on Dutch (pp. 43-62), English (pp. 63-89), French (pp. 90-118) and Spanish (pp. 119-156) colonies. Chapters X and XI are on "Des compagnies exclusives de commerce", and "Du commerce exclusif des Métropoles avec les Colonies". Chapter XII deals with "De l'esclavage dans les Colonies - Saint-Domingue" (pp. 257-323). Volume II has chapters on the need for change in colonies, the separation of colonies from their mother countries, and dependence and independence - for the most part greatly revised or completely rewritten. Chapters XX-XXIV are new to this edition; they are "Nécessité d'un Congrès colonial" (pp. 151-6); "L'Espagne peut-elle reconquérir et garder ses Amériques? - Que doit faire l'Espagne?" (pp. 157-203); "Des Droits de l'Europe dans la guerre de l'Espagne contre ses Amériques" (pp. 204-47); "De l'Influence des Colonies sur les Marines de l'Europe (pp. 248-70); and "Que doivent faire pour leurs Colonies les puissances inférieures en marine" (pp. 271-7). Chapters XXVI-XXVII are "Plan proposés pour les Colonies" (pp. 278-89); "Plan pour les Colonies" (pp. 290-9); and "Avantages, Pertes e Dédommagemens dans le Plan des Colonies" (pp. 300-21). Chapter XXIX is titled "De l'Empire anglais dans l'Inde, et de sa durée" (pp. 324-49). Chapter XXX, "Que deviendront les États-Unis?" (pp. 350-94), is completely new to the present edition.Pradt (1759-1837) was born in Allanches (Auvergne) and received a doctorate of theology from the Université de Paris in 1786.

Overall in good to very good condition. 56 pp. *** First edition in Portuguese of the author's Lettre à un electeur de Paris (Paris, 1817). The Lettre is a prescription for further reform in the recently instituted system of representative government in post-Napoleonic France. Maintaining that elections are the foundation of representative government, Pradt first discusses the qualities that electors (i.e. those having the right to vote) should bring to their civic responsibility. He then praises England's system of constitutional monarchy, holding it up as a model for France. Among the specific reforms advocated are a broadened suffrage so as to make the electorate truly representative of society at large, removal of age restrictions on office holders, and sharp restrictions on royal prerogative. He particularly decries the destructive role of political parties, whose rabid self-interest is the antithesis of Pradt's ideal of the noble, dignified, public-spirited citizen. This 1826 translation was clearly intended to advance Pradt's liberal ideas in Portugal, where new elections to the Cortes were then being organized.Pradt (1759-1837) was born in Allanches (Auvergne) and received a doctorate of theology from the Université de Paris in 1786. In 1789 he was elected to the États Généraux, where he defended the interests of the clergy until fleeing to Germany after the outbreak of the French Revolution. For the next decade he lived in Hamburg and Münster, where he published several works critical of the Revolution. Returning to France in 1800, Pradt soon earned Napoleon's favor, and with it the offices of bishop of Poitiers (1805) and archbishop of Malines (1808). He undertook several diplomatic missions for Napoleon but, unable to serve church and state equally, found the work increasingly repugnant. Pradt renounced his office in 1816, immediately placing his pen in the service of liberal ideas and against monarchy. Of Pradt's 50 or so published works, all but a handful appeared from 1816 or later. Among his many works are Des colonies et de la révolution actuelle de l'Amérique (1817), Des trois derniers mois de l'Amérique Meridionale et du Brésil (1817) and Les six derniers mois de l'Amérique et du Brézil (1818).The translator, Lima Leitão (1787-1856), was born in Lagos (Algarve). He became a physician and served with both the French and Portuguese armies before moving to Brazil. In 1816 he was sent from Rio de Janeiro to Mozambique, where he acted as physico mór; from there he traveled in 1819 to India, to serve as Intendente de Agricultura. Lima Leitão also taught medicine in Lisbon, and served twice in the Cortes. He published numerous works on medicine and politics, and several of poetry.*** Innocêncio I, 171.
