N.P. (Buenos Aires) n.p. (Gath & Chaves) 1920 large 12mo. stapled, stiff paper wrappers. 174 pages.
Catalogue of the book dept. of a Buenos Aires business called The South American Stores, Gath & Chaves Ltd. for 1,000's of current titles.

Many titles in French and English. Some modern customers would find this all deplorably primitive: no cat calendars, celebrity bio's, swimsuit issues, pop-psych tomes, or messages from UFO's. And how did they dare offer all those foreign-language books without a proper, correct multicultural section? Wrappers soiled, rather loose.

(Argentina) CATALOGO DE MANUSCRITOS, PAPELES DE GREGORIO FUNES, INDICE DEL PLAN DE
Buenos Aires Biblioteca Nacional 1940 small 4to. sewn, stiff paper wrappers. 2-53, (3) pages.
In 1813, the Argentine educator, historian and statesman G. Funes submitted a "Plan of Studies for the Main University of Cordoba" to the University. This plan relected the influence of the Enlightenment and, among other things, discussed the teaching of French (not a popular language in certain circles)! Around 1940, the National Library of Argentina reprinted the Plan and also issued this "index" (which is certainly not a catalogue) with about 350 entries under names, titles, and concepts appearing in the Plan, often with page references and/or comments. With a fragment of a letter from Funes to the Bishop of Cordoba and a bibliography on higher education in (Spanish) colonial America. Wrappers chipped, browned, covers detached. Coming unbound (sewing has separated).
