Sinopsis
Excerpt from Letters Home From Spain, Algeria, and Brazil: During Past Entomological Rambles
The series is not complete; letters from Malaga and also from Brazil are missing; and unfortunately, by a most untoward accident, the whole of my private journals for several years, together with many ms. Notes made on these and other expeditions, have been destroyed; so that to supplement these letters, or to add to the too meagre notices of natural history that they contain, has been made impossible to me.

Excerpt from Letters Home From Spain, Algeria, and Brazil: During Past Entomological Rambles
My Dear Father,
Here I am, in what will be, I am sure, a very pleasant home for the next month or two, as pleasant as it is now strange. I can hardly realize my present existence; everything around me is not only a complete change from my work at that ant-hill Northampton, but it is something entirely new to me, and very charming.
On Tuesday night we mustered at the Cottage a large party: some of us, I among the rest, slept on board the yacht; Gray filled his bedrooms on shore and sent the rest of his guests to the hotel. Before 7 A.M. all were on board, when we weighed anchor; but early rising for once did not pay: we weighed anchor, and spread no end of sail, and whistled; but there was no wind! not a breath.
