rif. 2509RS642Ou DEFENSA IMPARCIAL Do Grande LUIZ DE CAMÕES Contra as Invectivas e Embustes do Discurso Preliminar do Oriente Composto pelo Padre José Agostinho De Macedo em que se prova as suas falsas originalidades: obra escripta em vida deste Reverendo Author e até agora não impressa. Seu author Raymundo Manoel da Silva Estrada. LISBOA Na Imprensa Nevesiana. 1834. Com liçença. In 4.º de 20x13 cm. Com 56 págs. Encadernação com lombada em tela encerada com ferros a seco. Pastas em papel marmoreado. Exemplar com sinais de manuseamento algumas manchas de humidade. Muito raro já na época de Inocêncio. Gralha na numeração das páginas com 10 em vez de 35. Obra incluída na violenta polémica que opôs José Agostinho de Macedo a muitos escritores do início do século XIX por ocasião dos ataques a Camões publicados juntamente com a sua edição do poema O Oriente. Importante para o estudo da recepção da obra de Camões na transição do século XVIII para o século XIX. A confrontação entre Os Lusíadas 1572 de Luís de Camões e O Oriente 1814 do Padre José Agostinho de Macedo reflete um dos maiores duelos literários da história de Portugal. Enquanto Camões fundou a língua moderna através de uma epopeia mitológica onde a mitologia greco-latina é sagrada e funcional e deuses como Vénus e Baco interagem diretamente com os navegadores elevando os feitos humanos a uma escala divina Macedo procurou 'emendar' a obra de Camões sob um prisma neoclássico e racionalista realizando um 'processo higienizador'. Como padre e seguidor das luzes Macedo via os deuses pagãos como um erro estético e espiritual. Em O Oriente a mitologia é reduzida a meras alegorias ou figuras de erudição sem qualquer poder real sobre a ação histórica. Raimundo Manuel da Silva Estrada foi um autor português do século XIX lembrado principalmente pelo seu papel na defesa da honra literária de Luís de Camões face aos ataques de José Agostinho de Macedo sendo esta a sua obra mais relevante. Embora não tenha sido um autor de vasta produção original é também autor de uma obra satírica publicada no contexto da Guerra Civil de 1828-1834: Epicédio à morte de Telles Jordão. Lisboa. Na imp. Nevesiana 1834. Referências: Inocêncio II 55-56 e XVIII 160 M-4-D-64 hardcover

1830rif. 99804Boston MA: Printed by Dutton and Wentworth 1830. 1830. Very good. - Octavo 8-1/2 inches high by 5-1/4 inches wide. Softcover bound in printed self-wrappers. Once bound in with other similar pamphlets these three related items are unbound and removed with stab marks along the left edges. The pagination is a follows: pages 1-11 1 & 13-21 1-8; and 1-12. There is some scattered foxing throughout all three items. The cover page of the Senate No. 10 report dated December 15 1829 is darkened & stained with minor chipping to the bottom corners of that page and of the last page. Very good. First edition Massachusetts Senate No. 21. The report is signed on page 11 by John W. Lincoln Chairman. The report is followed by the text of a bill entitled "An act to establish the Boston and Lowell Rail Road Corporation." The Boston and Lowell Railroad was the first major railroad in the state of Massachusetts. The Boston and Lowell Railroad was preceded by the Middlesex Canal. Converting the canal to a railroad would eliminate the issue of transportation being unavailable during the winter when the canal froze. Patrick Tracy Jackson led the task of convincing the state legislature to fund the project. This proved difficult as the investors of the Middlesex Canal were against building a new form of transportation designed to replace their canal. The report at hand details the protest of the directors of the Middlesex Canal against granting the petition of John F. Loring and others to construct a railroad in its place. Loring and the other investors received their charter on June 5 1830 and the railroad began operations on June 24 1835. The pamphlet is accompanied by an earlier February 12 1830 pamphlet titled:"To the Honorable the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled. : The president directors and company of the Middlesex Canal having seen the publication of the petition of John F. Loring and others for a rail road from Boston to Lowell and the order of notice thereon beg leave to present the following remonstrance to granting the prayer thereof." 12 pages. Signed page 12: Wm. Sullivan Josh. Coolidge Geo. Hallet committee of directors of Middlesex Canal to this purpose duly authorized. House No. 40 printed by Dutton and Wentworth 1830. In addition an earlier pamphlet from 1829 is included: "Boston December 15 1829. To His Excellency Levi Lincoln Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts : Sir On the behalf of the Commissioners of Internal Improvements I have the honor to transmit herewith a report of a survey made in conformity to a resolve of the legislature passed on the 12th day of June 1829 directing the Board to survey a route for a rail road from the town of Taunton to some point in the route previously surveyed between Boston and Providence : with great consideration and respect I am your humble and most obe't. serv't. Josiah J. Fiske chairman." 8 pages. Signed on page 8: Josiah J. Fiske Willard Phillips James Hayward Commissioners of the Board of Internal Improvements. Senate No. 10. Printed by Dutton and Wentworth. [Boston, MA: Printed by Dutton and Wentworth], [1830]. paperback
