18225737Medellin: Manuel Maria Viller Calderon 1822. About very good. 4pp. on a bifolium. Folio. Previously folded. Light wear at edges. Four small worm holes of which two in text and slightly affecting a few letters. Minor foxing and soiling. A decree dated September 21 1821 and first promulgated at Rosario de Cúcuta that imposes taxes for the maintenance of the army and other specified branches of the government. The present edition is reprinted in Medellin in 1822 evidently as a reminder to citizens that the first payment is due on June 22 1822. The entire decree consists of three preliminary paragraphs and thirty-eight numbered articles and is a production of the first printer to work in the Antioquia province Manuel María Viller-Calderón who established a press in Rio Negro in 1814 and moved it to Medellin in the same year. This work is one of a small handful of items printed there in the first quarter of the 19th century. OCLC does not locate any copies though we know of one in the National Library of Colombia.

Colombian Vice President Francisco de Santander reports to congress on the successful conclusion of a desperately needed loan from bankers in England. This work contains his account of the negotiations documents relating to the making of the deal and copies of the terms of the loan. The London bank B.A. Goldschmidt would be destroyed by the Panic of 1825 which occurred shortly after the publication of this report. In turn Colombia was forced to default on its debt in 1826. As with virtually all of the newly independent Latin American nations Colombia struggled financially and was heavily reliant on foreign loans; several other countries in South America defaulted during this period as well.
