Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a selection of correspondence between British officials and the Portuguese government, detailing the mistreatment and arbitrary arrest of British subjects by Portuguese officials in the early 19th century, focusing on the cases of Sir John Doyle and William Young. The book also includes commentary from Lord Aberdeen, British Foreign Secretary at the time, who condemned the behaviour of the Portuguese government and demanded justice for the British victims. The book thus sheds light on a little known historical incident that nevertheless reveals the tensions and power dynamics between Britain and Portugal at that time.
