Summary

general

For Gran Colombia, see D. Bushnell, The Santander Régime in Gran Colombia (Newark, N.J., 1954); J. M. Restrepo, Historia de la revolución de la República de Colombia en la América meridional, 8 vols. (Bogotá, 1942–50); R. M. Barak and R. Díaz, Resumen de la historia de Venezuela desde el ano de 1797 hasta el de 1830, 2 vols. (Bruges, 1939). Also very useful for its collapse are two volumes by C. Parra-Pérez, Marino y la independencia de Venezuela, 4 vols. (Madrid, 1954–60), vol. 4, and La monarquía en la Gran Colombia (Madrid, 1957). C. A. Gosselman, Informes sobre los estados sudamericanos en los anos de 1837 y 1838 (Stockholm, 1962) and M. M. Lisboa, Barão de Japura, Relación de un viaje a Venezuela, Nueva Granada y Ecuador (Caracas, 1954), a description of a journey in 1852–3, are valuable accounts of the whole area. A useful contemporary series of constitutional studies is J. Arosemena, Estudios constitucionales sobre los gobiernos de la América Latina, 2nd ed., 2 vols. (Paris, 1878).

Carillo Batalla (comp.), Historia de las finanzas públicas en Venezuela, 23 vols. to date (Caracas, 1969–); Biblioteca de la Academia de la Historia, Las fuerzas armadas de Venezuela en el siglo XIX, 12 vols. to date (Caracas, 1963–); C. Gómez R. (ed.), Materiales para el estudio de la cuesti´on agraria en Venezuela (1829–1860): Enajención y arrendamiento de tierras baldías (Caracas, 1971); R. J.
