Description

Tendo sido escravo por oito anos, William Davies foi tomado na embarcação de Robert Thornton como médico e levado para a Amazônia numa expedição (com autorização do Duque de Florença). Após seu retorno, escreveu este pequeno livro. A Amazônia é descrita no capítulo cinco, onde Davies, de acordo com Borba de Moraes, escreve sobre os animais da região e costumes dos indígenas.
