[Santiago de Chile], Imprenta Araucana, dated 14 May 1836.. FIRST and ONLY EDITION. Folio (27.5 x 18.5 cm.), disbound. Caption title. In good to very good condition. Early manuscript foliation in ink (trimmed). (1 l.) *** FIRST and ONLY EDITION. According to the anonymous author, Riva Agüero published a document claiming that Admiral Charles Whiting Wooster, who had recently decided to retire to the United States (he was a native of New Haven, Connecticut), had been treated very badly by the government of Chile. The author, who signs himself as "Un Chileno," declares with rhetorical flourishes that Riva Agüero has no idea what he's talking about. "Quien es el que determina el premio que merecia Wooster de nosotros por sus servicios? - ¡D. José de la Riva Agüero que no sabe cuáles son esos servicios, lo que cuestan a la nacion ni lo que verdaderamente valian!"José de la Riva Agüero, who was at this time minister plenipotentiary to Chile for General Luis José de Orbegoso of North Peru, succeeded Orbegoso as president of North Peru on August 1, 1838. He was ousted after the Chileans and South Peruvians defeated the Peru-Bolivian Confederation at the Battle of Yungay on January 20, 1839. Exiled to Chile, he wrote one of the most important sources on the history of Peruvian independence: Memorias y documentos para la historia de la independencia del Perú y causas del mal éxito que ha tenido ésta, Paris, 1858.*** Not located in Briseño; cf.
