Overall in good condition. Early manuscript foliation in ink. ii, 19 pp. *** FIRST and ONLY EDITION. The wife of Jos� Santiago Mu�oz Bezanilla, a prominent liberal, asks that her husband - exiled without benefit of a trial - be allowed to return to his family. After the defeat of the liberals in the Chilean Civil War of 1829, Mu�oz Bezanilla was exiled to the town of Huasco near the Atacama Desert, famous as the driest place on earth. The 14 documents reproduced here are signed by President Jos� Tomas Ovalle, Diego Portales, Fernando Errazuris, and Mariano Ega�a. Dating from July to November 1830, they focus on who sent Mu�oz Bezanilla into exile and whether the Constitution of 1828 gave them the authority to do so.Mu�oz Bezanilla (ca. 1780-1836), a native of Santiago, was involved in the Chilean independence movement as early as 1811, when he helped suppress the Figueroa Mutiny. After Rancagua he was exiled by the Spaniards to the Juan Fern�ndez islands, returning only after the Battle of Maip� in 1818. As a liberal, he wrote for El Pipiolo and El Monitor Araucano, and several times during the 1820s served in Congress. He also helped promulgate the Constitution of 1828, and under President Francisco Ram�n Vicu�a was secretary of War and the Navy.*** Brise�o I, 130: without mention of the preliminary leaf.
