About This Item
[Santiago de Chile], n.pr., dated 25 February 1825.. FIRST and ONLY EDITION. Folio (29 x 18.5 cm.), disbound (reinforced along left edge). Caption title. In good to very good condition. Early manuscript ink notation at top of recto: "Nº 18". Broadside. *** FIRST and ONLY EDITION. As governor and intendant of the province of Santiago, Lastra chides his compatriots for not surrendering the goods covered by the estanco - i.e., tobacco, tea, liquor, and playing cards, for which the government of Chile had granted a monopoly to Portales, Céa in exchange for having that private company service Chile's external debt.Francisco de la Lastra (1777-1852) was an early advocate of Chilean independence and in 1814 served briefly as the country's first supreme director, before signing the Treaty of Lircay. Deported to the Juan Fernández Islands from 1814 to 1817, he returned to take up a position as intendant of Santiago. In the absence of Ramón Freire, Lastra was again the supreme director of Chile for a few months in 1823-1824. Lastra later led the liberals in the Civil War of 1829. After being defeated by General Prieto at Ochagavía, he became a judge and was elected to the Camara de Diputados del Congreso Nacional.*** Not in Briseño. Not in Palau. Not located in CCPBE.
