Quelques auréoles et rousseurs sur la couverture et sur la partie des marges dépassant du volume ; bon exemplaire cependant, et de grande rareté. // Note concernant les n° 11 et 14 de LETTRES FRANÇAISES : En 1981, dans son " Discours de réception à l'Académie française " (au fauteuil laissé vacant par Roger Caillois), Marguerite Yourcenar a évoqué sa participation aux LETTRES FRANÇAISES : " Vers 1943, quand nous étions [Roger Caillois et Marguerite Yourcenar] volontairement des exilés l'un et l'autre, lui, sous la Croix du Sud, moi dans une île qu'illumine assez souvent l'aurore boréale, il voulut bien accepter un long essai de moi pour la revue des LETTRES FRANÇAISES, qu'avec l'appui de cette admirable protectrice des lettres, Victoria Ocampo, il dirigeait à Buenos Aires. A cette époque où la voix de la France n'arrivait que rarement jusqu'à nous, ces minces cahiers nous apportaient une preuve rassurante de la vitalité de la culture française, venue, certes, d'un autre point du monde, mais n'en prouvant que mieux son don d'universalité. Peu importe ce qu'étaient ces quelques pages assez informes, qui plus tard m'ont servi de brouillons pour certaines parties d'autres livres. J'avoue même, en les relisant dans de vieux numéros des LETTRES FRANÇAISES, m'étonner qu'un esprit doué d'une si parfaite rigueur les eût acceptées. [] Quoi qu'il en soit, à une époque où nous n'étions guère rassurés sur la survie de la culture (le sommes-nous aujourd'hui ?) ni du reste sur notre propre avenir, un tel accueil était pour un jeune écrivain encore dépaysé aux Etats-Unis une grâce accordée et un service rendu. Cher Caillois, je saisis cette occasion de vous en remercier en public. "

181143697Buenos Aires: Real Imprenta de Niños Expósitos 1811. First edition. Disbound in three original quires. A very good copy old stitch holes very faint numeral 7 inked to top margin of title page. 127 - 145 pp. 8vo. The Gazeta in its current form started in 1810 with the May Revolution was written by Mariano Moreno and was intended to support the Junta as well as describe events in Argentina and other neighboring countries and from Europe and the Americas. The issues with 'Extraordinaria' in the title were outside the normal publication and issued without numbers. So important was the publication that the government ordered it read aloud at chapels after mass. The government was fluid and Moreno was shoved aside by Cornelio Saavedra and the clergyman Gregorio Funes who organized a second revolution that took place on April 5th and 6th. Whereas the May Revolution had been a revolution of the urban bourgeoisie of the "decent people"- the merchant and intellectual elite the April event mobilized urban workers and laborers for the first time on the banks of the Plaza de la Victoria in order to remove Morenistas. See Daniel Morán "La historiografÃa de la revolución. La participación plebeya durante las guerras de independencia en el Perú y el RÃo de la Plata" Nuevo Mundo Mundos Nuevos Online Debates Online since 30 May 2011. Funes would author the communiqué in defense of the Junta in this Gazeta Extraordinaria issue of Lunes 15 de Abril 1811: "Manifesto sobre antecedentes y origen del suceso de la noche del 5 y 6 del corriente." Furlong notes: "Oficio de los alcaldes a la Junta dirigiéndole las diez y ocho peticiones del pueblo; y pidiendo su cumplimiento. Peticiones del pueblo: explicaciones. Circular que en sustancia y con la sola diferencia de la expresión se ha pasado a sus respectivos cabildos por los diputados para precaver toda siniestra prevención Ãnterin se publicaba todo lo ocurrido para inteligencia y general satisfacción de las provincias." Issues of the Gazeta are uncommon in the trade Gazeta Extraordinaria and early issues even more so. The only issues before 1813 that we could find were at the Sotheby's sale of May 8 1961 lot 64A purchased by Maggs. Furlong IV: 2565. Palau 96378 Reimpression. Zinny: p.48.
