Printer statement from colophon.

Not the same as the Boletin del Egercito Nacional de Lima No. 1 of 20 April 1822 printed in Huancayo described by Vargas Ugarte (Impresos peruanos,4849) and Medina (Arequipa, el Cuzco, Trujillo, 36). This conclusion is based on the following considerations: (1) This Boletin del Egercito Nacional de Lima is not numbered and is dated 13 days before the No. 1 Huancayo issue; (2) it consists of only [1], not four pages; (3) Vargas Ugarte cites one other unnumbered and apparently also undated s.l. Boletin del Egercito Nacional de Lima; (4) we are dealing with a highly mobile field press; and (5) neither General Canterac nor Viceroy La Serna would have delayed touting a victory for wo weeks, especially as they temporarily had the upper hand.
