1883Quaderno manoscritto a penna e matita in 8, pp. (30) in parte scritte e in parte bb. con gora centrale non deturpante. Indicazione ms. all'ultima p.: quaderno delle sue casse porto Dseato (sic). Importante e raro autografo di questo Capitano ed esploratore al servizio del governo argentino. Di origini chiavaresi, dopo aver viaggiato al comando di un brigantino per i mari dell'estremo oriente, fu al servizio tra il 1875 e il 1885 del governo argentino nell'attivita' dell'eslporazione e dello sfruttamento delle sue terre australi. Nel 1883, su sua proposta, venne organizzata una missione esplorativa nell'area di Porto Deseado che duro' tra l'11 aprile e il 14 novembre. In questo periodo vennero effettuate tutte le misurazioni e i rilievi finalizzati allo stabilimento di una colonia, fatto che avvenne l'anno successivo. Questo importantissimo brogliaccio risale proprio agli ultimi giorni di questa missione, come testimoniano le date apposte a margine delle 4 liste dei materiali caricati alla volta di Buenos Aires sul piroscafo Bahia Blanca comandato dal Capitano Ferro (11, 12, 13 e 14 novembre 1883). Di grande interesse l'esame delle liste dei materiali, che vanno da materiale geodeico e da rilevamento a tende, letti e coperte, tende, arnesi da lavoro ecc. Le pagine iniziali, dedicate ad una sommaria descrizione della localita', riflettono quanto pubblicato nella relazione a stampa edita nel 1884 e qui acclusa. Nel manoscritto poi, compaiono ampie annotazioni a matita di altra mano e che potrebbero attribuirdi a tal Luis Marzano, uomo al servizio dello stesso Oneto. Occore anche annotare che Antonio Oneto si reco' l'anno successivo, con 24 famiglie di coloni, al fine di fondare la citta'. La raggiunse il 15 luglio 1884 ma il 21 giugno 1885 mori' senza veder completata la sua opera. Attualmente, ogni 15 luglio, la citta' rende omaggio alla memoria dell'Oneto con cortei alla sua tomba ed al suo monumento. C.

1808Best.-Nr. 41553London. 1808. Detailed Account of the British Invasion of Argentina In 1807 Gen. John Whitelocke was sent to the Rio de la Plata with a large force. His goal was to reinforce British troops already operating there and in Argentina and to seize Buenos Aires a move designed to open up the markets of South America to British commerce and replace those lost on the Continent by Napoleon's blockade. Despite his large force Whitelocke proceeded cautiously and ineptly further hampered by bad weather. The assault on Buenos Aires was met by civilian as well as military resistance when the British had expected local merchants to welcome them with open arms. Craufurd commanded a light brigade which led the attack on Buenos Aires and successfully achieved its objectives. However a large part of the attacking force was cut off and forced to surrender while Whitelocke napped in his tent and Craufurd's brigade was ordered to surrender with the rest of the British force. Santiago Liniers the Spanish commander proposed a truce if the British would promise to withdraw in two months but said he could not answer for the safety of the prisoners if the attack was renewed. Feeling that the object of the expedition was now untenable Whitelocke accepted those terms. The British withdrew to Montevideo and then to England losing what might have been a foothold in South America. Whitelocke was the subject of the greatest scorn on returning to England where he was court-martialed and cashiered. Though this work is sometimes attributed to Gen. Whitelocke the accusatory and wounded tone of the narrative makes that unlikely. viii2161pp. plus four folding maps. Antique-style three-quarter calf and marbled boards. Minor offsetting and foxing on titlepage and other leaves facing maps. Old library stamps on first two leaves; contemporary ownership inscription on titlepage. Errata slip pasted to verso of titlepage. Very good. Untrimmed. SABIN 103672. PALAU 375051. HALKETT & LAING I p.164. DNB online. hardcover
