Infuriatingly, it simply drops out of the text. We have used "plain" e's, and apologize!

Seabra da Silva (1732–1813) was a fidalgo and close ally of Pombal in his war on the Jesuits. The present work is a translation of his 1768 work in Portuguese of Petiçaö de recurso apresentada em audiencia publica a Sua Magestade, sobre o ultimo e critico estado desta monarchia, depois que a Sociedade chamada de Jesus, foi desnaturalisada e proscripta dos dominios des França e Hispana.

During the Seven Years War, Portugal gave support to her traditional ally Great Britain, especially the use of her ports, and with the entry of Spain into the war, the Spanish tried to put a stop to it. First they tried diplomacy, and when that failed they invaded their neighbor, as is here documented. They were beaten off by the Portuguese with British assistance, thus reinforcing Portuguese distrust of their Castilian neighbors and their close ties with Great Britain.

First Spanish edition of this
important Portuguese history by the Abbé
de Vertot, focusing on the 1640 revolution in which the "Spanish captivity"
was ended and the house of Braganza brought to power. Jefferson's library contained
a copy in the original French, and, following its first printing in that language
in 1689, the work was translated into a number of other tongues, with the present
Spanish rendition being now significantly less common than most others.
Provenance:
With the armorial bookplate of D. Feliciano Ramirez de Arellano, Marqués
de la Fuensanta del Valle, and bookseller's ticket from a Lisboa dealer.
