DEDICATION 



TO 



HAMILTON HAMILTON, ESQ., 



HER 



MAJESTY'S ENVOY EXTRAORDINARY AND MINISTER PLENIPOTENTIARY 

 AT THE COURT OF BRAZIL, &CC. 



Abinger Hall, January, 1838. 



My dear Sir, 



The dedication of these pages to you 

 is but a poor acknowledgment of the very great 

 kindness and hospitality I received under your 

 roof at Buenos Ayres. When I returned to 

 England, I had no intention of publishing the 

 notes which I made, occasionally, and irregularly, 

 during my rambles, without any other design
