Wanderings in South America - The North-West of the United States and the Antilles in the Years 1812, 1816, 1820, and 1824; With Original Instructions for the Perfect Preservation of Birds, Etc. For Cabinets of Natural History (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Wanderings in South America: The North-West of the United States and the Antilles in the Years 1812, 1816, 1820, and 1824; With Original Instructions for the Perfect Preservation of Birds, Etc. For Cabinets of Natural History

The Wanderings I have left untouched as Waterton wrote them, not adding or altering or cancelling a syllable. They constitute, so to speak, the central brilliant of a ring, round which are arranged jewels of inferior value, so as to set off the beauty of the principal gem.
