CHARLES WATERTON, ESQ.

Wanderings in South America, the North-West of the United States, and the Antilles, in the Years 1812, 1816, 1820 & 1824. With original instructions for the perfect preservation of birds, &c For cabinets of natural history.

London, B. Fellowes (successor to Mr. Mawman), 1828. 8-vo (15 x 23 cm). Pp. viii, 340 + front. Later red cloth, spine with gilt-lettered black titleshield. Uncut. Second edition (1st 1825) of this epoch-making work on the natural history of South America by the British explorer and naturalist Charles Waterton (1782 - 1865). Waterton was a catholic aristocratic eccentric and naturalist by nature, who later inspired a.o. Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace. He went to British Guyana in 1804 and started his explorations through the wilds of Demerara and Essequibo in 1812 to search for the “Wourali” (curare) poison that the Indians used for hunting. His second and third journey were to Pernambuco, on the coast of Brazil, to the Amazon, to Cayenne. His fourth, and last, journey was in 1824 to the USA (the state of New York, the Niagara Falls, Buffalo, Philadelphia), eastern Canada, and the Caribbean (St. Domingo, Martinique, Barbados, etc). Already as a youth he was a very skilled taxidermist, using his own, unique, taxidermy method. He later preserved many of the animals that he caught on his expeditions. He describes this method in the final section (pp. 321 – 41) “On Preserving Birds for Cabinets of Natural history”. "The Nondescript" depicted on the lithographed frontispiece were the head and shoulders of a howler monkey with its face contorted (as described by Waterton on pp. 305-7) and thus looking like an Amazonian Abominable Snowman; it is still on display at the Wakefield Museum, West Yorkshire, together with the other items from Waterton’s collection. New binding and flyleaves, frontisp. and last page slightly stained, but otherwise a very good copy.
