Darwin refers to the work: Parish, Woodbine. 1838. Buenos Ayres, and the provinces of the Rio de la Plata: their present state, trade, and debt; with some account from original documents of the progress of geographical discovery in those parts of South America during the last sixty years. London: John Murray.
† Darwin wrote to Sir Woodbine Parish, "I like your book very much; it cannot fail to be extremely interesting, I should think, to all those who care for graver things than what the traveller eats and says to the Señoritas."
