/ the Zig-Zag Company, the Chilean Colony of Colombia, / the
heroic groups of Patria y Libertad / and the patriots who
eliminated Schneider

shortening the studies to half. / Mens sana in corpore sano.

Proclamation 202

the Fatherland and Freedom.

/ The owners bringing in their volumes / with marginal notes or
underlined little sentences, / must explain, before our
