About this book
The title presents an account of Brazil, the River Plate, and the Falkland Islands, with the Cape Horn route to Australia and notices of Lisbon, Madeira, the Canaries, and Cape Verds. The book announces portraits, maps, charts, and plans. The historical account attributes the discovery of Brazil to Alvarez de Cabral, describing an accidental landing at Porto Seguro caused by bad weather.
The climate description contrasts cold mornings and evenings with warm, pleasant sunshine during the day and air said to raise the spirits and energise the mind. The note on correspondence says Buenos Ayres and the Uruguay had reached equal footing in correspondence with England.
