The present work seeks to analyze the offering of printed dedications in a Brazil that just begun to print. These dedications, representative of reverence and patronage, are symbols of politics relations based on the effective hierarchy, and of the exchanges seeking power and influence. In a time when live of its own quill was a challenge, it was necessary to make use of the conventions to acquire sponsorship and protection, and the public offer of loyalty and submission through the pages of the books was opening means of inclusion in the court society of and of acquisition of the royal emoluments. The opening of the Royal Impression contributed like no another measure to the awakening of the cultural life of the new court, acting in the circulation of written, of ideas, and of relations of sociability. In this environment, the necessity of conquering the good graces of the sovereign to obtain prestige implicated that the first publications of the beginning of the 19th century disposed already of pages been intended for the dedications, whose laudatory tone it was aiming to convince on the merit of indults and favors. A great deal of the works published by the Royal Impression in the period were explicitly dedicated to some important social or politics figures, and an expressive number went to a sovereign D. John. Many scholars achieved a quite succeeded trajectory, others did not conquer success; but the use of the praises printed along the literary trajectory of many people allows to notice that the practice crossed the ocean with the Real Family, and it lasted a long time along eight hundred in Brazil.
