MS. Cartas sobre o Estado Passado e Presente de Portugal. 1777

POMBAL (Marquês de, Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo)
CARTAS Sobre o Estado Passado e Prezente de Portugal. 1778 (?).

Manuscrito sobre papel, 70 ff. não numerados. Brochado.

Contemporary copy of the famous 17 letters attributed to the Marquis of Pombal, originally published in Paris. This manuscript contains all the known letters and another text, also found in the copy of the BN, with the title: «Compendio Historico Analitico, do Judio que I have formed from the 17 letters contained in the Collection and printed in the last year of 1777 in London in the English language received in this Va de Pombal at the beginning of January of this year 1778.» Inocêncio (see v. 7, p. 213), also refers to a collection similar to this, stating that he only knew of one copy with the final text.
