Handwritten copy, in one hand, in beautiful and very legible handwriting, which we believe to be from the beginning of the 18th century, of two texts by the great diplomat Duarte Ribeiro de Macedo.

The manuscript contains the first two texts only published in the 19th century under the title 'Obras Inéditas de Duarte Ribeiro de Macedo', the first on the kingdom's trade, in particular the situation that today we would call the budget deficit of the State's accounts, pointing out as 'the only means to avoid this evil and prevent the kingdom's sane diner from introducing the arts into it, there is no other that can produce this effect, neither safer nor more infallible.' The second entitled 'Observation on the transplantation of fruits from India to Brazil' in which it defends the beginning of a policy of planting native plants from India in Brazil and the resulting economic benefits.
