Large 4° (26.6 x 21.1 cm.), contemporary marbled paper boards (corners worn; other minor wear). Written in ink, in a small cursive of the period. Overall in very good condition; internally fine. (1 blank l., 2 ll., 1 blank l.), 191 pp., (1 blank l.). *** Cavroé (1766-1844) was born in Lisbon, the son of a French carpenter. He played a part with the liberal and constitutional forces during the first half of the nineteenth century in Portugal and Brazil. Although overshadowed by such men as Alexandre Herculano and Silvestre Pinheiro Ferreira, Cavroe was a lively and prolific writer as well as an active workingman and artisan. Thus while he wrote plays, sonnets, odes, a social history of the Portuguese guilds from 1620 to 1834, and polemical pamphlets, he also designed and engraved lithographs, acted as an architect of royal, government and private buildings, and was a cabinet and furniture maker. This manuscript lists French terminology useful for workingmen and artisans, with the Portuguese translation and/or a short definition of the term's meaning.*** See Harry Bernstein, "Pedro Alexandre Cavroé (1776-1844), master artisan, writer, architect, and artist of Portugal and Brazil," Arquivos do Centro Cultural Portugues XIII (1978) p. 167-190.
