Resumo

Authorship erroneously attributed to John Whitelocke (by Halkett & Laing); also attributed to Joseph Thomson and Robert Crauford. Attributed questionably to Whitelocke by Sabin under his no. 103672. Printer's statement from verso, t.p., and colophon. Probable (correct) date of publication (1807) from BM. This agrees with the fact that the section headed "Appendix" in the anonymously published work entitled " Buenos Ayres" (London, 1807) takes issue with the present work. Errata slip mounted on verso, t.p. Plates unnumbered; all four are dated: "London published Dec. [or: Decr.] 4. 1807 by J. [or: I.] Bell Oxford Street." Text divided into two parts: Pt. I. Voyage from Falmouth, England, to Monte Video, Uruguay, with stops at the Cape of Good Hope and St. Helena (p. [1]-92); Pt. II. Military operations against Buenos Ayres (p. [93]-216). Reportedly based on documents held by libraries in Buenos Aires and by clergymen from the different missionaries employed over the continent. Cf. "Advertisement." . Book.
