Boxer, The Portuguese Seaborne Empire, 1415–1815 (London, 1969), chaps. 6 and 7, and The Golden Age of Brazil 1695–1750: Growing Pains of a Colonial Society (Berkeley, 1962), final chapter. Useful textbooks include A. H. Oliveira Marques, História de Portugal desde os tempos mais remotos até o governo do Sr. Marcelo Caetano, 3 vols. (Lisbon, 1980), I, chaps. 8 and 9; Joaquim Veríssimo Serrão, História de Portugal, vol. 6, O Despotismo iluminado (1750–1807) (Lisbon, 1982); Joel Serrão and A. H.
