Publisher Synopsis
'The volumes are the result of the painstakingly detailed editorial work done by Peter Riviere... Riviere's accomplished editing of Schomburgk's manuscripts together with his extensive and detailed footnotes and commentary bring to life someone who has been undeservedly almost forgotten in the very country to which he devoted the greater part of his life and labours, namely, Britain.'
