Andres Bello (1781-1865) was one of the most prolific and influential intellectuals in 19th-century Latin America. His long life spanned the late colonial period, the independence movement, and the early republican period to which he made numerous contributions as senator, jurist, diplomat, and educator. This volume includes a selection of Bello's most important writings in the areas of language and literature, politics, education and history.

"The selections gathered here explore such subjects as grammar and philology, constitutional reform, the aims of education, international relations, historiography, Latin and Roman Law, government and society . . . . In these and many other essays, Bello writes with grace, extraordinary insight, and a clear-headed vision of what would be necessary to provide a sustainable order for the fledgling republics of Latin America.
