Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Journey Across South America, Vol. 1: From the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean The journey of M. Paul Marcoy across South America, from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic, is one of the most remarkable of modern times; not so much for any serious peril the author encountered, as for the curious information he gathered among the mixed races and the savage tribes though whose territories he passed. To turn all the opportunities to account presented by such a journey it needed that the traveller should be as ready with his pencil as with his pen, and that he should possess something more than a general acquaintance with ethnology and several branches of natural history. In all these respects M. Panl Marcoy is, as his compatriot M. Emile Darier has observed, "a type of the model traveller," wanting no quality or talent which would enable him to use to the best advantage the succession of objects and of picturesque scenes that opened to his gaze. "A naturalist, ho describes with a master hand the fauna and flora of these countries; an archaeologist, he restores from the ruins they have left the temples and palaces, shattered monuments of the power of the Incas; an ethnologist, he carefully distinguishes each of the Indian tribes through whose territory he passes; a linguist, he gives a specimen of their idioms, showing the differences and analogies between them; a musician, he notes down their death-songs, their laments, their dance tunes; a draughtsman, lastly, his album has furnished the originals of the engravings with which, to the number of six hundred, M. Riou has enriched the published account of his journey." Further, I may be allowed to observe as his translator, that M. Marcoy has told the story of his wanderings in a very bur literary style, associating with exactness in detail a freedom of hand and breadth of colouring which every lover of nature must appreciate; and combining with a good humour which is proof against every mishap, and is often heightened by a grotesque incident, a sympathy with the "harmless savagery" of Indian life and character which shows his tine manliness. How far I have succeeded in reproducing these characteristics of the original narrative in English is for the reader to judge, but I may at least claim to have performed a somewhat arduous task conscientiously.

Excerpt: ...when commencing this enumeration of the pleasures presented at Cuzco, that the city possesses nothing whatever in the character of a theatre or assemblyrooin. But it has just occurred to me that it boasts of a cane/La de gallos, a little circus of about thirty feet in circumference, where cock-fighting is practised with birds properly trained and equipped with steel spurs. All these cocks are in name and genealogy tliorough-bred. Every Sunday, from three till six o'clock, a public, greedy for the cruel sport, crowd round the door of the cancha, the entrance price of which is a silver real. The proprietors of the birds excite them by voice and gesture to combat to the death, and considerable sums are staked upon their valour, the lookers-on betting as Often happe(I)1s6Si, n3.IS1 'any i culties-that arise between the parties to the sport.

This artist, whom we frequently visited, and whom we surnamed the Raphael of the Cane/za--a name which we believe he still bears in the circle of our friends will serve as the link to unite the preceding observations with those which are to follow.
