From the publisher

Excerpt from Under the Roof of the Jungle: A Book of Animal Life in the Guiana Wilds Courteous reader, here thou hast the outlines of an amazing landscape given thee; thou wilt see that the principal parts of it are but faintly traced, some of them scarcely visible at all, and that' the shades are wholly wanting. If thy soul partakes of the ardent ?ame. Which the persevering Mungo Park's did, these outlines will be enough for thee: they will give thee some idea of what a noble country this is; and if thou hast but courage to set about giving the world a finished picture of it, neither materials to work on, nor colors to paint it in its true shades, will be wanting to thee.
