Note 8 — BRAZILIAN CURRENCY.
Reading edition
In the preparation of this chapter we are indebted to several important and valuable Brazilian works—“Systema Financial do Brazil,” by Conselheiro C. B. de Oliveira; the Report on the Circulating Medium of the Empire, made in 1859-60, by a Commission presided over by Conselheiro Almeida Areas, now Brazilian Minister in London; the Report on the Crisis of 1864, by a Commission presided over by the late Conselheiro Silva Ferraz (Baron de Uruguayana); the Relatorios, from 1865 downwards, of the Ministers of Finance, and the Annals of the Senate and Chamber of Deputies for the same period.
