Tuckey's 1816 expedition to the Congo (IV, i, 38-52).Ramos describes this work as "a publicação periodica mais completa e mais seria que então existe em lingua portuguesa. De caracter enciclopedico, pretendendo cobrir as actividades do espirito humano, desde a poesia a agricultura, e do romance a industria, esta publicação atinge um publico de qualidade, junto do qual exerce uma influencia que mereceria ser estudada" (pp. 37-8).The Annaes was founded by José Diogo Mascarenhas Neto, Francisco Solano Constancio and Candido José Xavier, all of whom were editors and principal contributors. They were later joined by Luis da Silva Mousinho d'Albuquerque.In 1827 four issues of a successor to the Annaes were published: Novos annaes das sciencias e das artes.*** Innocêncio I, 73.
