About This Item
La Paz: Imprenta Paceña, 1868.. [2],x,79,64,[1]pp. Small quarto. Original half red calf and marbled boards, spine tooled in gilt, edges sprinkled red. Spine rubbed, spine ends lightly chipped, edges and corners worn. Good. Second edition of the first treaty to officially define the border between Bolivia and Brazil, agreed by the Treaty of Ayacucho in 1867. The treaty ceded a significant portion of Bolivia's northern and eastern territory to Brazil. The agreement was concluded without much knowledge of the terrain, and according to legend, Bolivia's dictator Mariano Melgarejo agreed to give away the northern lands partly in exchange for a white horse. Both the first and second editions are quite scarce, with only a handful of copies of each located by OCLC. PALAU 111374 (ref).
