PATRIOTA Portuense. Porto. 1821. - PATRIOTA Portuense . N. 1 (1 de Jan 1821) - n. 307 (31 Dez 1821). Porto: Na Officina da Viúva Alvarez Ribeiro e Filhos, 1821. 307 núms.; 2 v.; 305 mm. Complete collection, from its only year of publication, of * A Patriota Portuense* , a daily political newspaper edited by Azevedo Soares and printed at the Oficina da Viúva Alvarez Ribeiro e Filhos, in Porto. Emerging in the aftermath of the Liberal Revolution of 1820, the newspaper aimed to demonstrate the advantages of constitutional government and the harms of despotism, reporting daily on documents emanating from the Cortes and the Government, along with national and foreign news. It constitutes one of the most active voices in the press of early Portuguese liberalism, published daily, except Sundays, from January 1st to December 31st, 1821, for a total of 307 issues. Complete collections of daily periodicals from this period are rare to survive, given the ephemeral nature of the medium and the political turmoil that followed in the immediate years. Rare and highly valued by collectors and researchers of the history of the press and Portuguese liberalism. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
