Book excerpt: Excerpt from Observations on the Climate, Soil and Productions of British Guiana, and on the Advantages of Emigration To, and Colonizing the Interior Of, That Country: Together With Incidental Remarks on the Diseases, Their Treatment and Prevention; Founded on a Long Experience Within the Tropics It may not be improper to remark that this Society has been formed for the purpose of admitting amu tual interchange of sentiment and free discussion amongst the friends of literature, science, and art, - nearly on the original plan of the Royal Society; but embracing subjects in general, less abstract, and perhaps of more popular interest, if not of more general utility; and one material advantage will be, its universal accessibility to genius and talent, without a 50l. Or 60l. Douceur, which most sig nificantly implies that none but the wealthy can claim distinction for talents or learning; whereas the spirit of the age declares that the reverse is at least often true, and this must be the more ap parent as the rays of science become disseminated amongst the people: such a society, therefore, precluding the fellowship of no honest man, how ever humble his station in life, appears to have been rightly regarded as a desideratum and with pleasure we have seen some liberal-minded and wealthy men come forward in its support.

This book was released on 2021-12-17 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second of a pair of volumes publishing the unedited full reports of Schomburgk's travels in Guiana between 1835 and 1844, previously available only in greatly abridged and heavily edited versions. After his explorations in Guiana between 1835 and 1839 on behalf of the Royal Geographical Society, which are the subject of Volume I of The Guiana Travels of Robert Schomburgk 1835-1844, Robert Schomburgk travelled to London. He was appointed Her Majesty's Commissioner for Boundaries with the duty to survey the boundaries of British Guiana, hitherto undefined. His surveys between 1841 and 1843 consisted of three journeys. The first took him to the mouth of the Orinoco River, from where he traced the boundary south-westward to the Cuyuni River, before returning to Georgetown. The second journey involved the survey of the boundary with Brazil: first, south to the sources of the Takutu River; and then north to Mount Roraima. In the third he covered the boundary with Dutch Guiana (modern Surinam), which involved an arduous trip down the length of the Corentyne River. Schomburgk returned to London in 1844 and was knighted for his services. Volume II of The Guiana Travels contains his reports of these journeys. In abbreviated form they appeared in the Journal of the Royal Geographical Society. Here they are published in full, including the material censored by the Colonial Office, which mainly details abuses of the native population committed by Venezuelans and Brazilians. In an 'Epilogue' an account is provided of his later career. The volume also includes two appendices: a summary of the boundary disputes which arose as a result of Schomburgk's survey and a vocabulary of vernacular plant names.
