VII,341 pp. First published in London in 1825. - Charles Waterton (1782-1865) travelled to British Guiana, where the family owned plantations in 1804. In the years 1805-1812 he managed the family plantations and explored the morasses and mangrove woods of the coastal strip (Demerara). He wrote a vivid description of the Guianas, Pernambuco, St. Domingo, Martinique, Barbados, Demerera, etc. With special attention to their flora and fauna and the aboriginal population.
