| Summary |
This is the first of a pair of volumes publishing the unedited full reports of Robert Schomburgk's travels in Guiana between 1835 and 1844, previously available only in greatly abridged and heavily edited versions. Sponsored by the Royal Geographical Society, between 1835 and 1839 Schomburgk explored much of the interior of the colony and completed the arduous overland journey to the Orinoco to connect his survey with that of Alexander von Humboldt in Brazil |
