Contemporary vellum; remains of ties. Enlarged second edition, revised by the author, of this early account of the geography, natural history, and ethnography of the Orinoco region in the province of Amazonas, Venezuela. Gumilla (1686-1750) came to South America in 1714 as a missionary, and spent much of his life evangelizing the Indian tribes living along the shores of the Orinoco River, where he became superior of the Jesuit missions. In 1738, on his appointment as synodal examiner at Cartagena, he temporarily returned to Spain, and there compiled this book based on personal knowledge of the region and on historical material found in manuscripts left by the fathers Mercado and Ribera. In volume I, p14, the author describes the wild cacao tree; on (pp77-122) the general characteristics of the Indians, varieties of racial mixtures between Indians, negros, and creoles (quarteroons, octaroons, etc), and the origin of black colour and its mutations; in chapters 9-13 & 18 the nature and customs of different tribes of Orinoco Indians (Guaraníes, Otomacs, Guamos, Salivas, Mapuyos, Palenques) including their dances, also other tribes discovered by 1740 - a plate represents a number of trumpets used by the peaceful Saliva Indians; in chapters 20 & 21, resins, herbs, fruits, medical roots, and fishes used by the Indians; in chapter 22, turtle fishing, and a description of the china root on p309. The folding plate engraved after the author s design shows the Jesuit missions, towns, garrisons, and tribes along the Orinoco. In volume II, chapters 4 & 5 the author deals with arms and warfare of the Indians, in chapter 10 with diversity and origin of Indian languages; in chapters 12 & 13 with fatal poisons including a description on extracting curare from wourali roots used by the Indians as a paralyzing poison on their arrows (p144), and now a valuable source for drugs; on pp117, 222, & 226, varieties of the tobacco plant. A plate includes images of a marine animal and of an Indian playing a large war-drum. The dedication is to St Francis Xavier, apostle of the East Indies. Quire P in volume II with worming repairs in one place, occasional light toning, a few insignificant traces of usage, but generally very well preserved.
