[CORMATIN, Pierre Marie Félicité Dezoteux de]. Travels of The Duke De Chatelet, in Portugal. Comprehending Interesting Particulars relative to the Colonies; the Earthquake of Lisbon; the Marquis de Pombal, and the Court. London: J. J. Stockdale. 1809.

8vo. Two volumes in one. Slightly later Portuguese diced calf, expertly rebacked, original gilt-tooled spine preserved; pp. viii, [17]-295; 244, [20, general index] (collation conforms with the one given by the National Library of Portugal); large folding map of Portugal, frontispiece to vol.II with view of the Bay of Lisbon; rubbing to extremities, foxing to map and preliminaries and frontispiece of vol.II, else a very good copy; provenance: engraved bookplate of H. Silvester inside front cover.

Very rare first English edition, translated from the French (first, 1798) and updated by J. Fr. Bourgoing. The author Baron de Cormatin was a French officer and supporter of the Revolution who placed his manuscript in the library of the Duc de Chatelet, which led to confusion about the authorship. The work is a complete topography of the motherland and the Portuguese colonies on the other side of the Atlantic. Information on Portugal was much in demand in Britain, due to the Peninsular War (the decisive second battle of Porto ended with an Anglo-Portuguese victory in May 1809), trade relations and the settlement of the entire court of Lisbon in Brazil, which made Rio de Janeiro the capital of Portugal from 1808 until 1821, and opened up important trade for Britain with the largest country in Latin America.

Provenance: We believe that this copy belonged to a member of the family of the naval officer Sir Philip Carteret, second baronet Silvester (1777–1828), who in 1812 was stationed in Lisbon onboard the 46-gun frigate Pomone.

Abbey, Travel, 220; See Borba De Moraes p. 179 for the French edition on 1797 only ('a classic work'); COPAC locates merely three copies in Britain, at the National Trust, King's College and in the BL.

Not for the serious chewers
Style: Goal Post Chew Toy, Color: NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
Great novelty dog toy but if your dog is a real chewer like my Frenchie is, he had this turned this into a weapon in a matter of a week. The chewed up plastic was super sharp! But other than that, Go Pats!

My puppy loves this chew toy.
Style: Goal Post Chew Toy, Color: Detroit Lions
It’s one of his favorite toys to show off and chew. I constantly find him carrying it around. The only downside is that the Lions emblem wore off really quickly. It’s still a super cool toy though.

Heavy nylon. No squishy or chewable for pups.
Style: Goal Post Chew Toy, Color: PHILADELPHIA EAGLES, Style: Goal Post Chew Toy, Color: PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
Photo is just for size comparison. It’s really hard and not chewable but he’s already put a dent into it, as you can see. Not sticky, smells right out of the packaging !! We loved that! Its size is about a 20 oz Powerdrink but it’s sturdy and heavy. It’s going to last us such a long time . The only thing is the logo might be worn off sometime soon. Go birds! 🦅
