| Sumario: | At the end of this brief portrait of the first Argentine naturalist, as well as a remarkable and self-sacrificing doctor-hygienist, I see one of my dearest aspirations fulfilled. We Argentines owe a great deal to the enterprising genius of this noble martyr who was Dr. Francisco Javier Muñiz, and I have therefore wanted to evoke some aspects of his exemplary life, since his figure acquired such extraordinary merits.
At the distance of the years, his outstanding performance may appear somewhat confused or diluted, so it is necessary to clearly agree on it so that there is no doubt about his venerable memory and be rightly admired by generations.
I have had the good fortune to have at my disposal for my researches the valuable archives in the possession of the illustrious naturalist's relatives, who have also provided me with numerous data that complement and clarify it. I must, therefore, honestly declare that my task would have been incomplete had it not been for this special circumstance. |
