Uncommon collection of documents from the Third Congress of Central America, which took place in San Salvador during the Autumn of 1889. The text presents the daily work of the congress toward an agreement to reunify Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador. The principal document here is the provisional pact for the unification, ratified on October 15. The final section contains the texts of various previous agreements between Central American nations from which the present treaty was drawn. The countries were set to unite on September 15, 1890, but the president of El Salvador, Francisco Menendez, was assassinated in June, and his successor pulled out of the agreement. OCLC locates a handful of copies.
