ORDEM do Exercito. S.l. 1848-1849. - ORDEM do Exercito . N. 1 (3 Jan 1848) — n. 49 (31 Dez 1849). S.l.: s.n., 1848-1849. 1 v.; 210 mm. A collection of official orders issued by the State Secretariat for War Affairs, published regularly throughout the two calendar years of 1848 (nos. 1 to 64) and 1849 (nos. 1 to 49). A primary source of the first order for the institutional and administrative history of the Portuguese Army during a period of particular interest: the years in question correspond to the interval between the end of the Patuleia War (Convention of Gramido, June 30, 1847) and the Regeneration of May 1851, with Costa Cabral returning to power from 1849 onwards and the Army undergoing reorganization after the turbulent years of 1846-1847. The orders allow us to follow the internal life of the military institution: appointments, promotions, transfers, disciplinary and administrative regulations, directly reflecting the state of the military apparatus at a time of political transition. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
