Notes: In the "Alcance al Mercurio peruano," Lima, 1833, Rodríguez made a violent attack on General O'Higgins, who at once instituted suit for libel.  The "Acusacion," an elaborate defence of O'Higgins, is chiefly a compilation of documents relating to his revolutionary career, ostensibly by Ascencio, but in reality prepared by José Joaquín de Mora.  cf. Prólogo, t.12; also Figueroa, Dicc. biog. de estranjeros en Chile, 1900, p. 154, where the name Ascencio is asserted to be a pseudonym.  The "Acusacion" is here reprinted from the original edition, Lima, 1833.
