1825 hardbound (rebound) book in English entitled A View of South America and Mexico, by "a citizen of the United States." 7-1/4" x 4-1/4"; 465 pages. Printed in New York by H. Huntington, Jr. as Vol. I of "two volumes in one" from an apparently anonymous author, this book covers the histories of the various fledgling republics of formerly Spanish America up to and including their various struggles for independence (in fact written DURING that period), topically desirable but also with an engraving in the front (separated) showing a rather unusual portrait of Simon Bolivar (quite different from more popular renditions), in decent condition except for spotting all over.
