Notes: In the "Alcance al Mercurio peruano," Lima, 1833, Rodríguez made a violent attack on General O'Higgins, accusing him of being responsible for the assassination of Manuel Rodríguez in 1818. The Acusacion is a defense of O'Higgin, consisting chiefly of documents relating to the revolutionary career of the general. The true author of the Acusacion was José Joaquín de Mora, Juan Ascencio having been a pseudonym.  See the "Prólogo" to t. 12 of the Colección de historiadores i de documentos relativos a la independencia de Chile (Santiago de Chile, 1900), in which the Acusacion is reprinted (p. 107-418), and Pedro Pablo Figueroa's Diccionario biográfico de estranjeros en Chile (Santiago de Chile: Imprenta Moderna, 1900), p. 154.
