Two On A Tour In South America Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Reminiscences of South America: From Two and a Half Years' Residence in Venezuela Between the course over which Captain Head ran races against time, and the Republic to which these pages relate, about forty de grees of latitude intervene; the one is almost beneath the equator, the other is in the temperate zone, and they are about as far asunder as England is from the North Pole. Some of the countries in Europe - Italy or Switzerland for instance, might be almost overspread by the leaves of the multitude of books that have been written respecting them; whereas, on the contrary, with regard to South America, I am disposed to think, that all the books of this kind that relate to it, would scarcely serve as: a déjeuné for the small colony of insects that established itself in my library when I was residing there.
