Excerpt from A Journey Across South America, Vol. 1: From the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean The journey of M. Paul Marcoy across South America, from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic, is one of the most remarkable of modern times; not so much for any serious peril the author encountered, as for the curious information he gathered among the mixed races and the savage tribes though whose territories he passed. To turn all the opportunities to account presented by such a journey it needed that the traveller should be as ready with his pencil as with his pen, and that he should possess something more than a general acquaintance with ethnology and several branches of natural history. In all these respects M. Panl Marcoy is, as his compatriot M. Emile Darier has observed, "a type of the model traveller," wanting no quality or talent which would enable him to use to the best advantage the succession of objects and of picturesque scenes that opened to his gaze. "A naturalist, ho describes with a master hand the fauna and flora of these countries; an archaeologist, he restores from the ruins they have left the temples and palaces, shattered monuments of the power of the Incas; an ethnologist, he carefully distinguishes each of the Indian tribes through whose territory he passes; a linguist, he gives a specimen of their idioms, showing the differences and analogies between them; a musician, he notes down their death-songs, their laments, their dance tunes; a draughtsman, lastly, his album has furnished the originals of the engravings with which, to the number of six hundred, M. Riou has enriched the published account of his journey." Further, I may be allowed to observe as his translator, that M. Marcoy has told the story of his wanderings in a very bur literary style, associating with exactness in detail a freedom of hand and breadth of colouring which every lover of nature must appreciate; and combining with a good humour which is proof against every mishap, and is often heightened by a grotesque incident, a sympathy with the "harmless savagery" of Indian life and character which shows his tine manliness. How far I have succeeded in reproducing these characteristics of the original narrative in English is for the reader to judge, but I may at least claim to have performed a somewhat arduous task conscientiously.

Excerpt from South America and the Pacific, Vol. 1 of 2: Comprising a Journey Across the Pampas and the Andes, From Buenos Ayres to Valparaiso, Lima, and Panama; With Remarks Upon the Isthmus 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.

Excerpt from Across Unknown South America, Vol. 1 of 2 South America is, to my mind, "the Coming Continent" - the Continent of the future. Everybody knows the wealth of the Argentine, Peru, Chile, and Bolivia; but the interior of Brazil, the largest and richest country of all, not unlike forbidden Tibet, was perhaps better known a century or two ago than now. Few people realize that Brazil is larger than the United States of North America, Germany, Portugal, and a few other countries taken together. The interior is practically a terra incognita - although the ancient Jesuits and, at a later date, escaped slaves and native rubber collectors have perhaps found their way inland to a considerable distance. When I started on the transcontinental journey I did not take Europeans with me. It is not easy to find men who can stand the strain of so long a journey. I was also not surprised, although I was disappointed, not to be able to obtain suitable officers in Brazil to go part of the journey with me, so that I might be relieved of a portion of the tedious scientific work of the expedition, especially taking and computing daily astronomical observations, to which much time has to be devoted.

Historical and Descriptive Narrative of Twenty Years' Residence in South America in three volumes is a travel narrative by a British explorer William Bennet Stevenson who spent many years in Chile, Ecuador, Peru and Colombia, in early 19th century. About 1803 he landed on the coast of Chile, which at that time was inhabited only by indigenous people. His intention was to travel through the country, but he was detained a prisoner. He was conveyed to Peru, where he was permitted to reside in the town and to make excursions into the adjoining provinces. On the outbreak of the Ecuadorian War of Independence, Stevenson joined the insurgents, and he also served in the Chilean War of Independence, taking part in many naval operations. Upon his return he published the results of his American experiences. His goal in writing this book was to bring European readers closer to the distant continent which has undergone remarkable changes in its political and religious life. The book is of great value for the period of the Spanish American wars of independence, and he used his unique opportunities for observation to advantage.
