Francisco Xavier Monteiro de Barros papers, (bulk 1821-1825)

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 João José Miguel Ferreira da Silva Amaral (1773-1857); José Ferreira Borges (1786-1838); Francisco Solano Constancio (1777-1846); Joaquim Cesar de Figanière e Mourão (1798-1866); and 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.

These notes, which are in German, were written by Loránd Eötvös most probably while he was attending the University of Heidelberg. In the notebook Eötvös includes notes regarding: heat; themodynamics; comparisons of water, alcohol and mercury thermometers; linear expansion of glass and various metals from 0 to 100 degrees Celsius; and the thermal expansion of solids and gases. It is illustrated with pen-and-ink sketches of laboratory apparatus and a few diagrams. The text of the last page breaks off in the middle of a sentence suggesting that Eötvös continued his notes in another notebook.
