statesman natural scientist poet
José Bonifácio de Andrada was born on June 13, 1763, in the Brazilian seaport of Santos.
He attended secondary school in nearby Sao Paulo. At the age of 20 he entered the University of Coimbra in Portugal, where he obtained a degree in philosophy in 1787 and in law in 1788. Graduated in Law and Natural Philosophy in Coimbra, he joined the Academia das Ciências de Lisboa (Science Academy of Lisbon).
In 1790 the Portuguese government commissioned Andrada to make a scientific survey of several countries of Europe. This led him to study mining, mineralogy, and chemistry in Paris and mining in Saxony. The survey took 10 years and gained him a reputation as a natural scientist of note. After his return to Portugal in 1800, Andrada was appointed general intendant of mines. He also began a teaching career at Coimbra and held technical, scientific, and administrative positions.
From 1808 to 1810 he fought against the Napoleonic invasion, rising to the rank of lieutenant colonel and a command position. In 1819, after 36 years' absence from his native land, he returned to Brazil. Brazil was in a state of political unrest.
In 1807 the Portuguese monarch, Dom Joao VI, had fled before Napoleon's troops from Portugal to Brazil and had brought large numbers of Portuguese to govern the colony.
In 1815 he elevated Brazil to the status of a kingdom, but dissension between native Brazilians and the Portuguese continued. Andrada arrived in Brazil at a time when Dom Joao was being pressured to return to Portugal, and Brazilians feared that the country's status as a kingdom would be lost.
In 1819, José Bonifácio travelled back to Brazil where he continued to conduct scientific research. A talented man having an unquiet temperament, he was also appointed Minister for Kingdom and Overseas Affairs and became the de facto prime minister.
Dom Joao did return in 1821, and Andrada became an adviser and counselor to the prince regent, left behind. Andrada was instrumental in persuading the prince to declare the independence of Brazil and to assume the title of emperor as Dom Pedro I.
In July 1823 the Emperor dismissed José Bonifácio from his position as counselor, and the three brothers joined the opposition in the constituent assembly. Pedro dissolved the assembly in November, and the Andrada brothers were exiled to France.
In 1823 he was exiled and went to live in Bordeaux where, in 1825, come out his "Poesias Avulsas" (Sundry Poetries). To publish them he used the pseudonym Américo Elísio.
In 1824 the Emperor decreed a constitution which was based on a document José Bonifácio and his brothers had formulated. Andrada returned from exile in 1829 to find once more political unrest in Brazil, with native Brazilians opposing Portuguese-born Brazilians.
The latter supported Dom Pedro I, but the strength of the opposition forced the abdication of the Emperor in 1831. He appointed Andrada as tutor to his son, the 5-year old emperor Dom Pedro II. The Andrada brothers continued to be active in politics, although José Bonifácio, as tutor, was forced into the role of observer rather than participant.
Opposition to him as tutor developed, and in 1833 he was suspended from his position and accused of conspiring and disturbing the public order; he was later acquitted. In December 1836, he contracted tuberculosis.
He died at Paquetá, an island near Rio de Janeiro, on April 6, 1838.
He was one of the most important mentors of Brazilian independence, and his actions were decisive for the success of Emperor Pedro I. He supported public education, was an abolitionist and suggested that a new national capital be created in Brazil's underdeveloped interior (effected over a century later as Brasília). His career as naturalist was marked by the discovery of four new minerals. In 1797 he was elected a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
The mineral andradite is named after him. Among his other discoveries was Petalite, a lithium-containing material, first discovered by Andrada toward the end of the 18th century on a trip to Sweden, and it was in this mineral Swedish chemists first discovered lithium. He also was the first to discover another important lithium-containing mineral spodumene from the same source, an island named Utö near Stockholm.
