This copy, like most, lacks the pages corresponding to the dedication to D. Miguel, son of D. João VI and Carlota Joaquina. ”A precious work (says Mr. Rivara, in the notes to the first part of Francisco José Freire's Reflections on the Portuguese Language), which is only in the hands of a few curious people, but which we would like to be read and meditated upon by all those dedicated to the study of literature.” (cf.
