Description
Excerpt from The Geographical, Natural, and Civil History of Chili, Vol. 1 of 2
The attention of Europe is at this time more than ever directed to America. We are desirous of obtaining information of its climate, its natu ral productions, and its inhabitants; in short, every thing that is worthy of notice in that part of the world is now a subject of interest to the most enlightened nations.
Chili is acknowledged, by all who have writ ten upon America, to be one of its provinces meriting the most attention. This country is distinguished, not so much by its extent, as by the mildness of its climate; and it may be said to enjoy all the advantages of the most favoured countries without their inconveniences.
In my Opinion it may, with propriety, be compared to italy; as this is called the garden of Europe, that, with more justice, may be styled the garden of South America. The climate of the two countries is nearly the same.
