1831ref. 41128Santiago de Chile: Imprenta Republicana 1831. Exiled Peruvian President Defends His Conduct The extended and quite rare manifesto of Peruvian revolutionary and former president Antonio Gutiérrez de la Fuente published during his brief exile in Chile in order to defend his administrative and personal conduct from detractors at home. Gutiérrez was born in Huantajaya Peru now part of Chile and supported Simón Bolívar during the 1823 revolution. After independence he became governor of Arequipa until 1826 when he joined with Agustín Gamarra in a coup. Gutiérrez held the presidency briefly before it was handed to Gamarra and remained under his co-conspirator as Vice President until 1831. Not unlike Santa Anna in Mexico Gamarra maintained an active role as a general and frequently left the capital on military excursions leaving Gutiérrez as acting President. The sometimes-president clearly made no friends on these occasions and his unpopular support for foreign-manufactured goods was leveraged in yet another coup – in 1831 Gutiérrez was forced to flee the capital across the rooftops and seek asylum on board an American ship anchored in the harbor later ending up in Venezuela. He returned to Peru for the Civil War of 1834 and despite fighting for the winning side was quickly exiled once again once peace returned. He and former comrade Gamarra now out of power himself participated in several invasions of Peru from Chile in the next years until in 1839 they were once again in power. This manifesto dates from Gutiérrez's first exile in 1831 and attempts to defend his character against the figures who violently ousted him from power. He begins our translation: "If the horrific attack committed in my house and aimed at my person on the night of April 16 of this year had had no more consequence than my disappearance and the triumph of a handful of criminals considering myself the victim of personal hatred I would have faded into silence and obscurity deploring the dishonor to myself and the misfortunes of my country. However since a high official of the Peruvian Nation dares to appear on the public scene as the author and perpetrator of such a scandalous excess since he tries to justify it by blaming my public and private conduct with the most reckless accusations; Honor patriotism and the voice of my conscience demand from me if not a victorious refutation of such gross slanders at least a simple statement of my administrative conduct."

1705ref. 40826Lima. 1705. The Estate of a Spanish General in Peru and Chile Described This document comprises the petition of Luis de Santa Cruz y Padilla general of the Royal Armies in Peru and Chile and his wife Julia Fernández Gallardo for recognition of the establishment of an entailed estate in primogeniture of their farm and lands in the Valley of Lurigancho for the confirmation of their title in Castile and of their son as perpetual treasurer of the Royal Mint of Lima as granted by Royal Order of November 12 1703. This is followed by a copy of the Royal Provision of appointment and entailment as perpetual treasurer and inspector confirmation of entailed estate of lands in Lurigancho and of the title reciting in detail the various privileges and duties of the treasurer and inspector given in Madrid November 12 1703 with confirmation by the Royal Accountants in Madrid November 14 1703. This is continued with the confirmation accompanied by a recital of genealogy discussion of Santa Cruz lineages and reiteration of the terms of the Royal Provision dated and subscribed by notary in Lima August 3 1705 and attested to by witnesses and subscribed by a notary in Lima March 17 1735. The second section is lengthy testimony in Lima on July 10 1782 by María Narcisa de Santa Cruz y Centeno marquise and widow of Moscoso and Mariana de Santa Cruz y Centeno marquise and widow of Otero reciting lineage in support of claims in litigation with other claimants to succession in the entailed estate prior testimony and claims of numerous heirs to inheritance orders of monetary distributions termination of the post of treasurer due to incapacity of the current heir and renunciation by female descendants and agreement of the heirs to terminate the entailed estate dated February 16 1782. Lurigancho is an agricultural region some twenty-five miles to the east of Lima on the right bank of the Río Rimac. The area was isolated until a road was built to it through mountainous terrain during the viceroyalty of Manuel de Aman y Junient 1761-76. José de Santa Cruz y Gallardo 1661-1743 second Count of San Juan de Lurigancho was lieutenant governor and tax collector of the province of Yamparaes tax collector of Mizque and Pocona and chief magistrate of the mines of the Royal District of Charcas. He traveled to Madrid and was received into the Order of Santiago appointed Captain General of Chile and granted the title of Count of San Juan de Lurigancho for his father in 1694-95. He returned to Lima in 1695 but his privileges were suspended by Royal Order in 1697 and he returned to Spain to reclaim them. On December 10 1702 he was named perpetual treasurer of the Royal Mint in Lima established in 1565 by viceroy Lope García de Castro a post inherited by his heirs following his death and he returned to Lima in 1703. His son Diego Santa Cruz y Centeno 1707-74 became assistant treasurer of the mint and in 1743 he inherited the post of treasurer from his father. In 1754 he was excommunicated but this was lifted to permit his continuing in his post. Entailed estates designed to maintain real property intact over generations and usually involving primogeniture deprived other heirs of opportunity to inherit. Initially this situation was resolved by entry into religious or bureaucratic life but with the passage of time and subsequent increase of the number of heirs these solutions became impossible. As more heirs of the holder of the entailed estate went from wealth to poverty on his death the practice was abolished and remaining estates such as this one were dissolved by mutual agreement of the family. 31 leaves. bound with: OFFICIAL MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT DATED 1782 - 1783. 34 leaves.

Previously bound with stabholes and residue at left margin. Moderate worming affecting some text but not sense. Minor tanning and soiling. A group of seven highly ephemeral and seemingly unrecorded military broadsides and bifolia reports from Peru dating to the country's war with Gran Colombia from 1828 to 1829 and just after.
