A propos de cet article

Folio (28.3 x 20 cm.), original printed wrappers, with "Reservado" printed on front wrapper above the title. In very good to fine condition. 29 pp. *** FIRST and ONLY EDITION? Freire d'Andrade (1859-1929) headed a delegation sent to South Africa in 1921 to negotiate a trade agreement between Mozambique and the Union of South Africa; Portugal had had an agreement with the Transvaal, but the unification and the First World War had led to the need for a new one. He analyzes the economic and political situation of South Africa, summarizing his discussions with Prime Minister Jan Smuts (pp. 14-15) and giving an assessment of the government's stability (pp. 4-5). After four years as governor of Mozambique, Freire d'Andrade was uniquely qualified to evaluate the needs of that colony and how an agreement with South Africa might affect it, and he freely offers his opinions on such matters. He was particularly concerned with emigration and with making the railroads profitable, and more broadly, with what Portugal must do to maintain its empire. Cecil Rhodes (d. 1902) is mentioned briefly on p. 23.*** Not located in Porbase. Not located in Jisc. Not located in KVK (51 databases searched). N° de réf. du vendeur 35778
