[SOUTH AMERICA]. Manifiesto del excelentisimo ayuntamiento de Buenos-Ayres sobre la felix revolucion del 16 de Abril de 1815. Buenos Aires: Ninos Expositos, 1815. 2o (310 x 190 mm). 15pp. (Browned.) Later black half morocco (slightly rubbed). FIRST EDITION. Of great import is the note by the great leader Jose Artigas (1764-1850) in which he details the reasons for Alvear leaving Argentina. Between 1811 and 1815, Artigas led Uruguay's early efforts to attain independence from Spanish and Portuguese rule and eventually became that nation's first native-born governor. However, his authority was later undermined by intrigues fomented in nearby Buenos Aires and within his own followers, and he was forced to seek exile in nearby Paraguay in 1820. He took no part in the ultimate achievement of independence for his native country (1828) and refused to become, in his twilight years, a figurehead in the civil wars that ensued. Furlong IV: 580ff; Palau 148890 ("Unico ejemplar cinocido, en la Biblioteca de Buenos Aires"). VERY RARE.
