1847Best.-Nr. 21679London, Albemarle Street, John Murray, 1847. Kl.8°, ca. 16 x 11 cm, VIII, 210 S., Halbleinen der Zeit mit Rückentitel, Lesebändchen. Preface: New York, May, 1847. London: Printed by William Clowes and Sons, Stamford Street. Hier die erste britische Ausgabe, erschienen im selben Jahr wie die 1. amerikanische Ausgabe. Siehe Borba de Moraes (rev.ed.) I, S. 285 / Bosch, S. 444. A. d. Vorwort: 'In these stirring times, when all Anglo-Saxodom is on the qui-vive for novelty, and the discovery of a new watering-place is hailed with more enthusiasm than discovery of a new planet, - when the 'universal Yankee nation' has so nearly exhausted all the whereabouts which modern facilities for locomotion have brought so conveniently within is reach, - when the Old World has become also an old story, and summer excursions to St. Petersburg and Tornea, and winter sojourns in Australia and Typee, have afforded amusement, not only to travellers themselves, but to those who, at their own fire-sides, like equally well to take a trip to the ends of the earth in their comfortable arm-chairs; it has been a matter of surprise to me, that those who live upon the excitement of seeing and telling some new thing have so seldom betaken themselves to our Southern continent.' "The county of the Amazon is the garden of the world, possessing every requisite for a vast population and an extended commerce." 1. britische Ausgabe Einband berieben, Kapital mit Abrieb, sonst gut erhalten.
