The present volumes are not oifered to the public under an impression that 

 they contain a better history of certain portions of Brazil than is to be found in 

 the works of other Travellers, but because they include the description of a large 

 tract of that immense Empire of which the world has as yet had no account. 

 Independant of the general condition of the country, the author has endeavoured 

 to give a faithful picture of its physical aspect and productions ; and some cur- 

 sory remarks are added on the characters, habits, and condition of the different 

 races, whether indigenous or otherwise, of which the population of those parts 

 that he visited is now composed. Besides travelling along the coast, his journeys 

 ,into the interior were numerous. During his last expedition which extended 

 from North to South from the Equator to the twenty-third degree of south lati- 

 tude, and from East to West from the coast to the tributaries of the Amazon, 

 though suffering numerous privations, his enthusiasm surmounted all difficulties. 

 He laboured diligently in the pleasing vocation of a Naturalist, and his troubles 

 were amply repaid, not only by the incidents and pleasure which such wander- 

 ings always afford to the lover of nature, but by the gratification of having con- 

 tributed to no inconsiderable extent to the Flora and Fauna of that region.
