Documents of the United States National Monetary Commission in regards to Portugal, 1710-1877.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/429235322

These documents all relate to the US National Monetary Commission and their requests to foreign nations for information regarding coinage, gold, silver, bronze, and mining laws, etc. The documents are Portugal's fulfillment of these requests. There are three letters between Benjamin Moran, the American Chargé d'Affaires in Portugal, and João de Andrade Corvo, Foreign Minister of Portugal regarding the US National Monetary Commission and its requests. Corvo states that Portugal will comply with the request but they do it under protest and with disapproval. There are copies of six decrees made in Lisbon, Portugal, from 1710 to 1851, by Queen Maria II, José da Silva Carvalho, and the Portugal Royal Treasury (Casa de Moeda) regarding their monetary system, gold coinage, etc. There is also one report from Portugal's Ministry of Public Works' Department of Mines regarding the production of gold and silver in Portugal. All 13 documents are handwritten copies of originals.
