Additional Details

Robertson's account of Peru first appeared in his History of America in 1777. This separately published extract, however, appears to be otherwise unknown. The first American edition of the complete History of America was not until 1812. Not in Palau, Sabin, or Shaw-Shoemaker, and not in WorldCat.
