About The Book

Officer and author Basil Hall (17881844) joined the Royal Navy at the age of thirteen and saw service during the Peninsular War. His subsequent career involved extended journeys to the East Indies the Far East and South America. During these postings - encompassing elements of exploration diplomacy and scientific observation - he kept a journal and from his notes he published successful accounts of his voyages. This two-volume work first published in 1823 and reissued here in its revised 1824 third edition recounts his travels and first-hand observations during his final commission to South America and Mexico in command of the Conway. Sensitive to both physical and human geography Hall''s travelogue gives readers a sense of the continent''s natural and cultural diversity as well as its contemporary political turbulence. Darwin notably had the book with him aboard the Beagle. In Volume 2 Hall traces his journey from Peru to Ecuador Panama and Mexico.
