BY 



GEORGE GARDNER, F.L.S., Etc 



The present volume is not offered to the public under an impression that it 

 contains a better history of certain portions of Brazil than is to be found in the 

 works of other Travellers, but because it includes the description of a large tract 

 of that immense Empire, of which the world has as yet had no account. Inde- 

 pendent of the general condition of the country, the author has endeavoured to 

 give a faithful picture of its physical aspect and productions ; and some cursory 

 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 latitude, 

 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 wanderings 

 always afford to the lover of nature, but by the gratification of having contributed 

 to no inconsiderable extent, to our knowledge of the Flora and Fauna of that 

 region.
