Inscription by the author to Sir Woodbine Parish, dated May 1862; the same hand, at the foot of the flyleaf, wrote "Extracted from Vacation Tourists 1861." 46 pp., (1 blank l.). *** First separate edition of a work originally published as pp. 121-66 of Vacation Tourists and Notes of Travel in 1861 (London, 1862), edited by Francis Galton.

He gives a lively and detailed account of the people he meets, as well as the flora and fauna. *** Not in Borba de Moraes (1983) or in Carvalho, Biblioteca exotico-brasileira.
