摘要:Before departing for America, Alejandro de Humboldt documented American natural history and the Spanish scientific expeditions. This article reveals two important letters of Mariano Lagasca who, from exile in London, wrote to Humboldt about the scientific legacy of José Celestino Mutis, and his arrival in Spain following the military intervention of general Morillo in Nueva Granada.
