All through his life, he kept the scholarly interest in religion and the practical faith which he had acquired as a young man, and his old age was dedicated especially to his religious writings. His first was a study of non-Catholic religions in Brazil between 1500 and 1900, which soon went into a second edition. In 1912 he published a monograph on the Resurrection of Jesus; in 1918 Considerações Geraes sobre a Biblia –“general considerations about the Bible”; and in 1921 a magisterial two volume study of the Old Testament. Not all his writings in old age were religious. He also used the resources of the Jornal do Comercio to produce in 1918 a collection of U.S. President Woodrow Wilson’s speeches on the Great War, and in 1921 143 pages of “notes” on the subject of contraband goods in wartime. He died in Paris in 1923, where his English wife, Jane Sampson, had lived much of her life, and where his nephew João Baptista Lopes was the Brazilian Consul-General. He was buried in Highgate Cemetery in London. Both his daughters married Englishmen: the elder, Janet, married Sir William Garthwaite; the younger, Evelina, married David Hawes, the managing director of Frederick Sage & Company, shopfitters.
