TRAVELS 



AMONGST THE GREAT ANDES 



OF THE EQUATOR 



BY 



EDWARD WHYMPER 



WITH MAPS AND ILLUSTRATIONS 



To sit on rocks, to muse o'er flood and fell, 

 To slowly trace the forest's shady scene, 

 Where things that own not man's dominion dwell, 

 And mortal foot hath ne'er, or rarely been ; 

 To climb the trackless mountain all unseen, 



This is not solitude ; 'tis but to hold 



Converse with Nature's charms, and see her stores unroH'd. 



Byron.
