About This Item
Buenos Aires, En la Real Imprenta de Niños Expósitos, 9 August 1810.. FIRST EDITION. 4°, unbound. Tear on final leaf, affecting five words without loss. In good to very good condition. (3 pp.) *** FIRST EDITION. On 25 May 1810 a provisional junta was formed to supersede the authority of the viceroy and to carry on the government. Although the new government acted in the name of King Fernando VII, the "Revolution of May 25" was in fact a declaration of independence for Buenos Aires. In this edict, the Junta orders owners of houses fronting on streets to repair the pavement before their homes, and gives specifications for pavements and drains. It also prohibits leaving garbage or dead animals in public thoroughfares and orders owners to kill all dogs in the city within eight days. The decree is signed by the officers of the new government, who were prominent figures in the May revolution: Saavedra, Castelli, Alberti, Mateu, Larrea and Moreno.*** Furlong 1905. Medina 789.
