10 richard c. ramer Extremely Interesting and Important for its Information about the Portuguese Court and Public Administration in Rio de Janeiro 11. AZEVEDO, Joaquim José de, 1º Visconde do Rio Secco. Exposição analytica, e justificativa da conducta, e vida publica do Visconde do Rio Secco, desde o dia 25 de Novembro de 1807, em que Sua Magestade Fidelissima o incubio dos arranjamentos necessarios da sua retirada para o Rio de Janeiro, até o dia 15 de Setembro de 1821, em cujo anno dimittirá todos os lugares e empregos de responsabilidade de fazenda, com permissão de Sua Alteza Real o Principe Regente do Brazil, concedida por decreto de 27 de Agosto do present anno, publicada por elle mesmo. Rio de Janeiro: Na Imprensa Nacional, 1821. 4°, contemporary marbled wrappers (slight fraying). Woodcut Portuguese- Brazilian royal arms on title-page. Single small round wormhole in inner margin, occasionally touching a letter of text. Still, an uncut, clean, fresh, very good copy. viii, 39, 4, 28, 9 pp., 1 folding table. $2,500.00 FIRST EDITION. Borba comments, “extremely interesting and important for the information [it] provide[s] about the Portuguese Court and public administration in Rio de Janeiro at that time, and … very difficult to find.” Although nominally a biography, the Exposição includes much information not found elsewhere about the transfer of the Portuguese royal family to Brazil and contemporary political events. The Visconde do Rio Secco, a wealthy merchant born at Belém, near Lisbon, was a confidant of D. João and often provided financial assistance. Along with Admiral Manuel da Cunha Souto Maior, he was charged with organizing the royal family’s move to Brazil in 1807, and once there, held several important positions in the royal household in Rio de Janeiro. He administered the Fazenda de Santa Cruz and served as Director of the Brazilian Bank. His eminent position led to some public opprobrium, which he attempted to counter in this pamphlet and in Breve exposição do comportamento publico do Visconde do Rio Secco, Lisbon 1821. Innocêncio comments on the Exposição: “Posto que esta memoria pareça dirigir-se especialmente a elucidar questões pessoaes do seu publicador, é todavia interessante pelas particularidades que encerra no tocante á transferencia da côrte de Portugal para o Brasil, e aos successos politicos do tempo; apresentando noticias curiosas e aproveitaveis, que n’outra parte se não encontrarão.” Included with the main text (pp. 1-39) are 4 pages of notes, 28 pages of supporting documents, 9 pages of appendix and a single leaf entitled “Methodo pelo qual se ha de governar o fiel da caixa da emissão para o governo do troco das notas ao povo.” After independence the Visconde became a Brazilian citizen and was named first Marquez de Jundiahy. He died in Rio de Janeiro in 1835. j Valle Cabral 734. Almeida Camargo & Borba de Moraes, Bibliografia da Impressão Régia do Rio de Janeiro I, no. 848.
