Já na sua maturidade, em 1921, Francisco Augusto Pereira da Costa escreveu uma série de artigos intitulada "Os bispos de Olinda (1676–1910)", com perfis das principais figuras eclesiásticas de Pernambuco. São textos valiosos para se entender a história de Pernambuco como um todo. Esta edição, organizada e anotada por Bruno Almeida de Melo, retoma a ideia original de publicar os artigos como obra própria, com um minucioso trabalho de pesquisa a partir dos escritos de Pereira da Costa. Ao longo do texto e na bibliografia, nota-se o esforço impressionante de Bruno para recuperar com o máximo de exatidão possível as inúmeras fontes consultadas pelo historiador. A publicação ainda traz outro texto de Pereira da Costa, o Instituição da Igreja Pernambucana, e traduções inéditas, diretamente do latim, de três bulas papais.

Official and popular celebrations marked the Brazilian empire's days of national festivity, and these civic rituals were the occasion for often intense debate about the imperial regime. Hendrik Kraay explores the patterns of commemoration in the capital of Rio de Janeiro, the meanings of the principal institutions of the constitutional monarchy established in 1822–24 (which were celebrated on days of national festivity), and the challenges to the imperial regime that took place during the festivities. While officialdom and the narrow elite sought to control civic rituals, the urban lower classes took an active part in them, although their popular festivities were not always welcomed by the elite. Days of National Festivity is the first book to provide a systematic analysis of civic ritual in a Latin American country over a long period of time—and in doing so, it offers new perspectives on the Brazilian empire, elite and popular politics, and urban culture.
