Notes: According to Moraes, there is some confusion about just how many plates were originally meant to be included with this volume, and ranges from 4-18 plates of varied styles.

Although this work is a devotional and contains primarily prayers to saints, the preface contains details of the methods used to make discoveries and exploration while conducting missionary work in Brazil, and of the dangers and deprivations encounted on those journeys.
