After these and here the speaker laid on special stress--came the day of Bello, Montalvo, Rodo and Palma, each with his distinctive characteristics. The first, a Venezuelan who becomes a citizen of Chile, apart from his great pedagogic work which makes of him one of the greatest figures in the history of education in Hispanic America is the author of a Grammar of the Spanish Language, with notes, later, by Rufus Jose Cuervo which is still considered the most perfect and most practical for the knowledge of our own language...
