notes:
The shears are noted to have been invented by Jean Barre de Saint-Venant [Saint Yanant], French agriculturalist and engineer at Cap Français in Saint Domingue (present-day Haiti). A noted botantist, Velloso was appointed director of the press, Arco do Cego, incorporated in 1798 into the royal printing office. Meant to modernize the Portuguese empire, the Arco do Cego published at least 80 works in three years on various topics, including agriculture, navigation, and medicine.
