Sobre este artículo
Lisbon, Typ. Universal, 1860.. Large 8°, contemporary quarter morocco over marbled boards (slight wear), smooth spine gilt, decorated endleaves. Some foxing on portrait and facing leaves. Overall in very good to fine condition. Three-line author's inscription to the great Portuguese bibliographer Innocêncio Francisco da Silva in upper blank portion of half title page. (2 ll.), lithograph frontispiece portrait, 779 pp., (1 l. index, 1 l. errata). *** FIRST EDITION of the author's autobiography, said to have been limited to only 400 copies, of which 140 were offered by the author and 260 were for sale. A second edition appeared in Porto, 1891. It includes a thorough geographical description of the Azores and a chapter each on S. Miguel and Terceira (pp. 388-425).Luz Soriano (1802-1891) pursued a distinguished career as a government official and historian, publishing several important works on the civil war in which he fought. He participated in the Revolução Constitucional in Porto, 1828, went into exile in England, returned for the Siege of Porto, and suffered political attacks during the ministries of the Marquês de Loulé, Visconde d'Athoguia, and Sá da Bandeira. He ends with a chapter on the "systema despotico" of the Portuguese government. The work includes a geographical description of the Azores that Luz Soriano published in 1832.Provenance: Innocêncio Francisco da Silva (1810-1876) was the author of the first nine volumes of the monumental bio-bibliographical dictionary Dicionário bibliográfico português, 1858-1870 (often cited as "Innocêncio"). It has twice been reprinted and remains, a century and a half after volume I appeared, a standard and indispensable reference work. He ranks with Brunet, Graesse, Salvá, and Sabin as one of the foremost bibliographers of the nineteenth century. His annotations regarding the scholarly and commercial value of the books listed have rarely been surpassed, and his range of knowledge was vast and detailed.*** Innocêncio VII, 278-81; for additional biographical and bibliographical information, not pertaining to the present work, see XIX, 216-32.
