Colombian State Papers, Translated and Published from Official Copies (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Colombian State Papers, Translated and Published From Official Copies After the manner in which the present Collection of Documents relating to Colombia has been designated, no further introduction might be deemed necessary to the British Public, if it had not almost become an established rule for a publisher to state the reasons why he solicits attention to the work he is about to produce. The unconnected and partial manner in which the State Papers received from Colombia have been published in the daily prints of this metropolis, during the late session of parliament, suggested the idea of presenting the following ones in a collective shape, as the best means to establish and explain the motives of the long delay in the meeting of the Colombian Congress, an incident that has occasioned some uneasiness and regret; and also to mark the progress made in the consolidation of the government.
