Lisbon, Na Officina de Francisco Borges de Sousa, 1765.. FIRST and ONLY EDITION. 4 works in 1 volume. 4°, contemporary mottled sheep (a few pinpoint wormholes on covers, slight wear, recased with recent endleaves), spine gilt with raised bands in five compartments, crimson leather lettering piece in second compartment from head, gilt letter, text-block edges marbled. Woodcut vignette on title page. In good to very good condition. (3 ll.), 64 pp., (1 l.). *** FIRST and ONLY EDITION of this Arte poetica in verse. It is usually encountered bound with the three works which follow. That they belong together is demonstrated in the licenses and censura statements (including a Censura "Do Ordinario" by Diogo Barbosa Machado). The final leaf contains on its recto additional licenses, one of which is signed by a Craesbeck, and a few lines of errata; the verso is blank. There appear to be copies which contain an extra collective title page at the beginning, Obras em verso. Francisco de Pina e Mello (1695-1773), who rarely used the "de Sá" part of his name which appears on the title pages of the present four volumes, was born and died at Montemor-o-Velho. Coming from a family of the lower nobility, he studied at Coimbra but never took a degree, reading what interested him, being particularly influenced by the Baroque. A trip to France in 1753 put him in contact with pre-romantic French authors. He ran afoul of the Marquês de Pombal, was imprisoned, and spent his final years engrossed in literary theory. A member of the Real Academia de História, the Academia dos Aplicados, and the Academia dos Ocultos, he was something of a contradiction as a poet: bucolic and very much influenced by Gongorism, condemned by the árchadas (Correa Garção and Cruz e Silva considered him to be marginal, "o corvo do Mondego"), but finally defending Neoclassicism. In short, he is representative of the contradictions of the confused pre-romantic aesthetics of the period in a synthesis of Gongorism with French Neoclassicism.

Lisbon: Na. Offic. de Joam Antonio da Costa, 1765. 4º, (8 ll.), 34 pp., (1 l.). Ink stain of about .5 cm. to fore-edge, seeping ever so slightly, at most about .4 cm. into outer margin. A good copy. FIRST and ONLY EDITION. The poem is dedicated to Sebastião Joseph de Carvalho e Mello, Conde de Oeiras (later Marquês de Pombal), and includes a flowery six-page address to him beginning on the second leaf recto. The first two pages of the main text contain an "Argumento do epithalamio." The poem celebrates the marriage of Pombal's eldest son: an obvious attempt by the author to ingratiate himself with the powerful minister who had had him imprisoned in 1762. The final leaf contains a "Cathalogo de algumas obras deste autor, as quaes se achão de Antonio da Sylva da Costa mercador de livros na rua Augusta, na travessa de S. Nicolão." Several works which would have been offensive to Pombal, defending the educational program of the Jesuits against the proposed reforms of Verney, are described as "supprimida pelo author." Pina e Mello's Gruta das parcas, a poetical work favorable to the Duque de Aveiro, is not even mentioned. * Innocêncio III, 35 (without mention of the final leaf).

Text on most of the first, all of the second, and most of the third page in three columns. *** FIRST and ONLY EDITION [?] of this apparently unrecorded program describing Castilho's mnemonic techniques. More than half of the second and third pages consist of extracts from newspapers describing Castilho's mnemonic activities. Most are in French, from the Propagateur of western Flanders, the Courrier de l'Escant of Tournay, the Eclaireur of Namur, the Messager of Gand, the Feuille of Saint-Omer, the Courrier du Nord of Valenciennes, and Le Vigilant de Seine et Oise of Versailles. There are also one each in English and Dutch, from the Times of London and Den Vaderlander, respectively. Beginning toward the end of the third page, and occupying a good part of the final one is an extensive list of newspapers that have reported on Castilho's lectures about memory. In addition to the Times, the Morning Herald (three issues), the Morning Post (two issues), and Gent's Magazine are listed for London. Two Parisian newspapers are listed, six from Brussels, one each from Geneva and Lausanne, and fifty-one more cities and towns from throughout France and Belgium are mentioned, a few being represented by more than one newspaper. The program declares that during the civil war in Portugal, the proceeds from Castilho's lectures were donated to the liberal cause of D. Maria II, in the struggle against her absolutist uncle D. Miguel. José Feliciano de Castilho de Barreto e Noronha (Lisbon, 1810-Rio de Janeiro, 1879) was the younger brother of the blind poet, literary critic and historian António Feliciano de Castilho, 1º Visconde de Castilho, as well as the journalist and author Alexandre Magno de Castilho, and uncle of the author Júlio de Castilho. Journalist, playwright, poet, literary critic and historian, political activist, physician and lawyer, he wrote three books on the subject of mnemonics, all in French, all published originally in 1831. He also held a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Rostock. After spending the years 1830 to early 1834 in exile, he returned to Lisbon, devoting himself to journalism, founding or co-founding and editing several newspapers. From 1839 to 1842 he took up a diplomatic post in Hamburg, where he published Traité du Consulat. In 1843 he became director of the Biblioteca Nacional, serving until 1847, and was president of a commission charged with reforming the Archivo Nacional da Torre do Tombo. He also served as a deputy to the Côrtes several times. After 1847 he spent most of his life in Brazil, where he practiced law while continuing to pursue his literary, theatrical and journalistic interests, returning a number of times to Portugal. *** Not located in Innocêncio; for José Feliciano de Castilho de Barreto e Noronha, see IV, 316-22; XII, 314-8, 414.
