Abstract
This paper proposes to present, although not unanimously recognised, the kind of masonic sociability designed by Hipolito Jose da Costa, editor of the Correio Braziliense (1808-1822), pioneer of the Brazilian press. Thus, in order to analyse the Masonic sociability defended and transmitted by Hipolito da Costa, I will study not only the editor’s discourse in the Correio, but also in the Diario da minha viagem para Filadelfia, the Diary of my journey to Philadelphia, the Narrative of a Persecution Narrativa da Perseguicao and in Letter about Freemasonry Cartas sobre a Framaconaria all works that reveal Hipolito’s concept of Freemasonry as a society of virtuous men, whose purpose is to do good for families in need.
