Page 7 has under the heading "South America" mention of the manifesto of Carthagena, stating in part that in the previous November, they had declared themselves to be: "A FREE, SOVEREIGN AND INDEPENDENT STATE..." and continues: "The first fruit of freedom of Carthagena, was the abolition of the INQUISITION; in which city was the chief seat of the accursed tribunal for all the provinces of Terra Firma [Terra Firme]" that being the Spanish territory in north-central South America, plus more.
Page 8 has "Caracas" which states in part: "Late accounts from their new republic announce the success of their cause and triumph of their principles."
Sixteen pages, approximately 6 by 9 3/4 inches, very nice condition.
