12mo, 149 x 85 mms., pp. [xxiv], 215 [218 blank], 218 - 236 [237 sic blank], later 18th century half calf, speckled boards, spine gilt in compartments to a floral motive, red leather label; a very good copy, with the bookplate of Eleonora Charlotta d'Albedyhll, née Wrangel (1770-1835) on the front paste-down end-paper. This edition of Histoire des Révolutions de Portugal by the Abbé de Vertot, René-Aubert Vertot (1655-1735), is so rare that the ESTC finds only two copies: one at the Bodleian in the United Kingdom, and one at Cornell in the United States. So, this edition is indeed rare, but the book itself is one of the most frequently reprinted and tranlated books of the 18th century. Vertot published the book in 1690 as Histoire de la conjuration de Portugal. In a "General note", one ESTC cataloguer moots, "The imprint may be false; printed on the continent?" (ESTC N49946). The publisher-printer is indeed listed as "Jean Nourse" in the imprint, i. e., the well-established John Nourse (1705-1780), was probably himself responsible for the Frenchification of his name. Interestingly, this very rare edition of Histoire des Révolutions de Portugal (1765) hails from the library of the household of Eleonora Charlotta d'Albedyhll, née Wrangel (1770-1835). She is one of the most important female intellectuals in Sweden during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Wikipedia says of her that she "was a Swedish countess, poet and salon holder. She hosted a literary salon in Uppsala 1812-1835 and has been described as the center of the salon in Uppsala during the Romantic era. She is known as the patron of Per Daniel Amadeus Atterbom, who greatly admired her, and as one of the earliest supporters of the Fosforisterna, a group of romantic poets in Uppsala. Eleonora Charlotta d'Albedyhll was the daughter of riksråd count Anders Reinhold Wrangel and Eleonora Mariana Barnekow. In 1795, she married baron Gustaf d'Albedyhll and moved to Nyköping. Her marriage was described as happy. Already during her early years, she was known to be intelligent, educated and a talented intellectual, and she was also described as a beauty. In 1812, Eleonora Charlotta d'Albedyhll and her spouse moved to Uppsala. In Uppsala, she founded a literary salon and became a center of the cultural life in the city, rivaling Malla Silfverstolpe. [S]he became the patron of the circle of Romantic poets known as Fosforisterna.".
