First sentence: AT the southern extremity of the vast empire of Brazil we find the rich and favoured province of Rio Grande do Sul, otherwise called San Pedro, which, although one of the smallest provinces of Brazil, is yet three times the size of England, having an area of 8,925 square leagues (of 16 square miles each), or 142,800 square miles English.
