He was one of the founders of the Brazilian Academy of Letters, where he occupied chair number 36, and was elected president in 1925 and 1935. Son of Afonso Celso, Visconde de Ouro Preto, the last President of the Council of Ministers of the Brazilian Empire, he was elected for four consecutive terms as deputy to the national parliament from Minas Gerais. With the proclamation of the republic, in 1889, withdrew from politics to accompany his father in exile. Devoting himself to journalism and teaching, for more than 30 years he regularly contributed articles to the Jornal do Brasil and Correio da Manhã. He held the chair of political economy at the Faculdade de Ciências Jurídicas e Sociais do Rio de Janeiro. After the death of the Barão Rio Branco, in 1912, he was elected perpetual president of the Instituo Histórico e Geográfico Brasileiro, a post he held until 1938. Afonso Celso was great grandfather of the musician Dinho Ouro Preto, vocalist of the rock band Capital Inicial. *** Ford, Whittem and Raphael, A Tentative Bibliography of Brazilian Belles-Lettres, p. 47, cites this title without any information about date or place of publication; see also pp. 46-7 for 24 other titles by this author.
