Louis Agassiz sheds insight into Brazil's history: his travels took place in the 1860s, when the country was undergoing great change as an Empire and grappling with its this development. The author offers eye-opening accounts of a Brazil now lost to time; observations of the urban culture and life, and the natural habitat of the countryside and forests, offer the reader immense insight into the era. Most of the text is written as a narrative diary, wherein Agassiz observes and describes traversing colonial-era Rio de Janeiro, the city of Manaus, the Amazon river, various small towns and villages, and the vast rainforests. As a zoologist, Agassiz's interest in the diverse wildlife present in Brazil forms a recurring theme in this book. However, the text is careful not to dwell too long on matters obscure or scientific; while the author is clearly at work, he also covers matters of culture and day-to-day life. Anecdotes include lectures which Brazil's Emperor Pedro II attended; the leader arranges the room's chairs that he sits equally with other attendees - reasoning that science does not distinguish people by rank or position. As Agassiz and his company travel through Brazil, we are treated to many vignettes of life. The fiestas, street scenes and atmosphere of the locales are evocatively described. We hear of bustling markets and harbors, plazas in which coffee beans dry, the periodic hunting, and an enmeshed, diverse society blending European habits and native customs. The beginnings of modernity, such as plans for railroads, are also detailed. In a later portion of the book Agassiz expounds on differences between what he terms the 'human races' - opinions which have since come into disrepute. This new edition of A Journey in Brazil reproduces the twenty-five illustrations of the original 1868 text, as well as the author's appendices and notes.

Excerpt from Travels in Brazil, in the Years 1817-1820, Vol. 1: Undertaken by Command of His Majesty the King of Bavaria AT a period when the peculiar situation of the immense countries in America, formerly belonging to the crowns of Spain and Portugal, so powerfully claims the attention of the politician, the statesman, and the merchant, no more can be required to recommend a'work like that here offered to the public, than the assurance that it is not a mere compilation, got up to meet the exigencies of the moment, but a real and authentic narrative, of a journey through a greatextent of a most interest ing country, hitherto but imperfectly, or not at all explored, and performed by persons every way qualified to gather ample materials for both instruction and entertainment. That such a feeling is very general may be inferred from the numerous works that have been published of late years relating to different parts of South America. In exploring this vast continent, peculiar merit belongs to the Germans, to whom the illustrious name of Von Humboldt alone, secures, without dispute, the palm of superiority.
