Excerpt from The Press of the State of S. Paulo, Brasil, 1827-1904The year 1827 was for the State of S. Paulo the herald of two of the most important facts in the history of its civilization, these facts being the publication of its first newspaper in what was then the Province of S. Paulo and the foundation of the Institution of Law, from whence have sprung many eminent public notorieties.S. Paulo, with the Opening of the Law Institute, took the first place in the work of native civilization, not only on account of its more advanced prosperity. As well as being the leading character of intelligence and dash, which so far has brought about the happy prosperity of the nation.The Press was then, as always has been, the tribune of defence of the people's rights, opening up to the society, in general, fresh ideas for the betterment of progress.The first appearance of a newspaper in Brasil dates back to 1808, and, nineteen years later, the first in S. Paulo was published, on the 7 February 1827, under the title of Faro] Paulistano, it being at first a weekly publication and afterwards published twice a week, con tinning its publication until it stopped in 1833.From 1827 to 1841, the newspapers published in the state were exclusively confined to the Capital, and during these fifteen years, 23 weekly and half-weekly newspapers were started, which were publi shed however only during a few years.It cannot be denied, attending to the requirements of that period, the beneficial in¿uence that this fact has brought about, helping to a great extent to educate the population and protecting its numerous interests.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
