Joaquim José Pedro Lopes, born in Lisbon in the last quarter of the 20th century. XVIII, absolutist, he held the position of Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and editor of the Gazeta de Lisboa, later Diário do Governo until 1833, the year in which he was removed from all political positions. Then came blindness and poverty, forcing him to sell a large part of his enormous library while he was still alive. He was a disciple of Father José Agostinho de Macedo, taking part in some of the master’s controversies. In addition to articles in periodicals, he dedicated himself to the translation and versions of several works, including this one against Freemasonry. Inocêncio mentions two more editions besides the first (Lisbon, 1817), a second from 1818 and a third in 1823. Therefore, he did not see this third edition from the same year that he indicates the second or he got the date given for the third edition wrong.
