This text is a seventeenth century collection of essays regarding the demographics, military organization, and administration of Portugal. Reading this work is a demanding task because it features archaic spelling and specialized vocabulary related to historical governance and military ranks. The sentences are structured as concise index entries, which makes the syntax repetitive but clear. It is a valuable resource for those interested in the social and political history of the Iberian Peninsula during the early modern period.

Questions about this book
What level of Portuguese do I need for this book?
The estimate is C1, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.
Is this book really free?
Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.
How does reading with a translation work?
Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.
How long does it take to read?
About 15 h 9 min at a native pace, spread over 211 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
