WILSON, James
A Brief Memoir of the Life of James Wilson with Extracts from his Journal and Correspondence, written chiefly during a Residence in Guatemala, the Capital of Central America
12mo [17.5 x 11 cm]; 6, 165 pp, extra title page reproduced from the original edition. original cloth, gilt spine title lettering, very fine and clean, unmarked, as new copy. A picture of this book is available upon request by email. Markman 894: 'A journal and correspondence of the author while he was a resident in Guatemala in the 1820's. Notes and comments on contemporary life and more'. Grieb gu1392: 'Focusing on lifestyles, customs and culture'. Includes considerable comment on and description of Belize. By a Scots merchant and traveller (1799-1827). From the preface: 'The author is not without hope that it will prove both interesting and instructive. It is the plain, unvarnished outline of the life of one who's worth was manifested more by deeds then by words. His faith was fixed upon the rock of ages. It did not evaporate in wordy and lengthened confessions of self-abasement; nor did it seek to revel in the imaginary delights of self-righteousness. In this memoir there is something to amuse, and also something to inform the mind. The notes on Guatemala will be found valuable, inasmuch as we have been hitherto without much information in reference to that interesting country'. With a new introduction by James C. Andrews, giving a historical perspective and a short bibliography. isbn 0913129011
