"Waterton was an enterprising traveler and a zealous naturalist. He was a man of great personal courage, and the story of his ride on a cayman, as told in his Wanderings, is now classic. He was an unrivaled expert in taxidermy and the frontispiece in this volume shows his celebrated 'Nondescript man' made up from various odds and ends . . . Waterton's travels took him through the wilds of Demerara, Brazil, and Guiana, and he also visited Guadeloupe, Barbados, and many parts of North America"--Hill.<
