Francisco Xavier Monteiro de Barros Papers
Manuscripts
The chronologically-arranged papers consist of eleven manuscripts, eighty-nine pieces of correspondence, and three ephemera folders. The bulk of the collection is letters authored by the colleagues of Francisco Xavier Monteiro de Barros, documenting changes in the Portuguese politics and government and United States-Portuguese foreign relations. Prominent persons represented in the correspondence series include: Scholar and writer, João José Miguel Ferreira da Silva Amaral (1773-1857) Legal scholar, economist, and politician, José Ferreira Borges (1786-1838) Physician, diplomat, and scientific writer, Francisco Solano Constancio (1777-1846) Diplomat and author, Joaquim Cesar de Figanière e Mourão (1798-1866) Journalist and London-based editor of the journal O Portuguez, João Bernardo da Rocha Loureiro (1778-1853) Most of the works penned by Monteiro de Barros are scientific and mathematical notes and tracts, specifically relating to celestial mechanics and mathematical physics. The dates of these papers are unknown, and were therefore dated before 1855, the year of his death. The letters and manuscripts in the collection are in Portuguese, English, Spanish, and Latin.
