Medellin: Manuel Maria Viller Calderon, 1822. About very good.. [4]pp., 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.
