E. L. HOLMBERO: APIDyE AROENTINyE O, PSyENYTHIA 351 



Claim against a British journal published in England. 



— The author of the actual monograph is an Argentine born in 

 Buenos Ayres, the same as his father. They never went to Europe. His 

 grandfather was an Austrian officer who carne from England with San 

 Martin and other later Generáis in the wars for Independence, arriving 

 in March 1812 in Buenos Ayres. In August (1812), he received in Ju- 

 juy, where he was under orders of General Belgrano, his Chart of 

 «Argentine citizen>> (a distinction previously bestowed only to Mr, Bi- 

 llinghurst), and the Declaration of our Independence was issued in 

 1816. His ñame was Edward Kaunitz Hoimberg, but as the Chart only 

 mentioned his last ñame, he never used the previous. 



That Chart was signed by the Triumvirs Ribadavia, Pueyrredon and 

 Sarratea. 



The author is very glad with his nationality by birth and right and 

 would not exchange it for any other. Being the second time that the 

 case occurs, he believes that the actual is the best opportunity to pre- 

 vent a further repetition.
