Abstract

The purpose of this project is to analyze the History of the Major Political Successes of the Empire of Brazil (1825-1830), throughout which its author, José da Silva Lisboa, the Viscount of Cairu, refers repeatedly to the History of England, by David Hume, as a modeling example of history writing. Therefore, the present proposal of scientific initiation aims at analyzing the appropriation made by the Viscount of Cairu of the historiographic method elaborated by David Hume, particularly with regard to his procedures of document criticism. Through the comparison of the above texts, we intend to shed light over a still little explored aspect of Viscount of Cairu's historical writings: his methodological affinities with David Hume. (AU)
