THE PRESS
Just as Norway was the last European country but one, into
which the art of printing found its way — Turkey alone being
behind us in this respect — so the beginning of a printed
periodical literature was much later in Norway than in most other
countries. Here, as elsewhere, the newspapers had their forerunners,
partly in the shape of pamphlets containing accounts of single
remarkable events (battles, natural phenomena, etc.), or critical
reflections upon such events, partly in the form of periodical
writings of an instructive and moralising nature, such as the «Short
Weekly Treatises on Various, and in Their Several Ways, Useful
and Edifying Matters», published anonymously by Bishop Fr.
Nannestad (1760—61), and the «Monthly Treatises» appearing in 1762.
The first newspaper proper, however, was the still-existing Norske
Intelligenz-Seddeler, which began to be published in Kristiania in
1763. It was originally published once a week in small quarto,
and contained for the most part only advertisements; and it was
altogether free from political or other tendencies. Not long after,
Bergen and Trondhjem each had its own newspaper, namely
Efterretninger fra Adresse-Contoiret i Bergen (1765), and
Trondhjems Adresse-Contoirs Efterretninger (1767), of about the same size
and contents as the Intelligenz-Seddeler. These newspapers had
acquired from the government the sole right to all the
advertisements in the diocese in which they were published, a monopoly
which they held until 1804 and 1876 respectively. In 1780,
Kristiansand also obtained its privileged newspaper entitled
Christiansandske Uge-Blade. In addition to these papers, several weekly
periodicals appeared during the succeeding period in Kristiania,
