Proyecto de Revolucion

Sucre: Imprenta de Beeche, 1857. Very good.. [8, i.e. 10],105pp. Original printed wrappers. Small quarto. Later, vaguely obtrusive manuscript additions in pencil to front wrapper. A few small nicks and minor wear to wraps. Internally quite clean. An ambitious design for a "Gran Escuela Central" for all in Bolivia, including native South Americans. The author was Narciso Campero Leyes, who enjoyed a long, successful career in the military and politics, capped by his tenure as President of Bolivia in the early 1880s. This work, published in 1857, was written just prior to his political career beginning in earnest. Its title, "Proyecto de Revolucion," reflects the ambition of the plan, which calls for multiple schools and departments for the intellectual, physical, moral, and religious education of all Bolivians, and is extensive enough to outline new railroads to transport future students. The present example contains two copies of the title page.
