Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. Preface states: "The lamented author of this work is well known to geographers as an eminent authority on South America, the author of an interesting paper on the inland seas of that continent in geological times, and of a very important one on its physical geography. He has since applied his great knowledge and powers of deduction and classification to the preparation of a work on the aborigines of South America. It remained incomplete at his death, but the finished part included all the Amazonian races and tribes south of the great river, those of the Gran Chacu, as well as the Araucanian, Pampas, and Patagonian Indians. Considering the amount of information now collected together for the first time, the value and interest of some of the author's conclusions, and his eminence as a geographer, Colonel Church's widow came to the conclusion that her husband's intention ought to be fulfilled, and that the manuscript should be published. EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall .
