Sobre este artículo
Amsterdam: Nico Israel; New York: Da Capo, 1971. Fine Facsimile Reprint. Hardback. An exceptional copy, gilt-blocked on simile vellum boards. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new, still in publisher's protective wrapping. ; 8vo 8"" - 9"" tall; 182 pages; Description: cvi, 182 p., [2] folded leaves of plates : facsims., maps, port. ; 27 cm. Subjects: Raleigh, Walter, Sir, 1552-1618 --Travel --Guiana. El Dorado. Guiana --Discovery and exploration. America --Early accounts to 1600. Series: Argonaut Press # 5. Notes: Originally published: London: Argonaut Press, 1928. Summary: Sir Walter Raleigh has suffered alternately from such extravagant adulation on the one hand and from such unjustified abuse on the other, that one turns with some eagerness to a study which is based throughout on original research ... Not everyone will agree with the view expressed in the introduction with regard to the inner meaning of Raleigh's fatal adventure in 1617; but it will be hard to deny Mr. Harlow's main contention that the Guiana project, taken as a whole, was essentially one of territorial expansion. Its importance, therefore, was ultimately as great as Raleigh's enterprise in Virginia. (See also Harlow: Argonaut Press # 12).
