12o (132 x 92 mm). 2 folding tables and additional "nota" leaf at end. Contemporary limp vellum.
FIRST EDITION. The text provides a brief historical note of the discovery of the Rio de la Plata, a listing of the past and present governors under the crown, a section listing the holders of ecclesiastical offices, monasteries, etc. and the military state of the region. In each section are references to the cities in the region, being a very complete register though with quite succinct descriptions. Furlong notes that the work can be ascribed to José Joaquin de Araujo (d.1834). Furlong II:675ff (lengthy description). VERY RARE.
