Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travels in the Equatorial Regions of South America: In 1832 The gross misrepresentations of some recent travellers in the United States, are sufficient to render our citizens cautious in the reception of travellers' stories; and it would be no matter of surprise to me, if some of the pictures I have drawn of the state of society in the Ecuador, should be thought exaggerated. Nothing will perhaps excite more astonishment in us, who are accustomed to see in our clergy the patterns of a correct life.

Small children abound in these elevations. In the highest balcony, in the evening, are seen the ladies of the house, tastefully dressed, commonly with high, carved, tortoise-shell combs in their hair, sitting in their hammocks, or leaning over the railings, enjoying the breeze from the river. The ladies of Guayaquil are generally handsome, possessing a fairness and delicacy of complexion, ' which we should hardly expect to find so near the equator, at a small elevation above the sea. This may partly be attributed to the moisture and heat of the climate, causing constant and free perspiration; and partly to the fact, that they seldom leave the house in the day time, except to go to mass, which they generally do early in the morning.
