Description: Travels in South America, during the Years, 18192021 by Alexander Caldcleugh Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description First published in 1825, this account, by a British diplomat posted to Brazil, describes the geography, politics, trade, and peoples of a continent undergoing rapid change. Volume 2 describes Caldcleughs return journey from Chile to Rio, and reveals his interest in South Americas natural resources, particularly the gold mines. Publisher Description First published in 1825 and based on his diaries, this two-volume account by Alexander Caldcleugh (1795–1858) of his experiences in Brazil, Buenos Aires, and Chile portrays a diverse and changing continent. London-born Caldcleugh was posted to South America in 1819 as private secretary to the British minister at the Portuguese royal court (based in Brazil 1808–21). Following that two-year mission, he returned to South America in 1829 and remained there until his death. Caldcleughs book appealed to the avid interest of European readers in the New World. It was well-received upon publication and in 1826 was translated into German. With its close attention to geography, geology, politics, economics, culture and society in the region, and its description of an adventurous crossing of the Andes, the book is both a fine example of the nineteenth-century travel narrative and a document of colonial attitudes. Volume 2 focuses particularly on mining.
