1. EDWARDS, W. H. 1847. A voyage Up the River Amazon, Including a residence at Pará. D. Appleton & Co., New York. 16mo. 256 pp. [More than 30 editions were published between 1847 and 2012. ― An excellent narrative full of hard-to-find details on the life, people and the land in the Amazon region during the mid- nineteenth century. This book has inspired Alfred R. Wallace and Henry W. Bates, in their mid- twenties, to come to the Amazon region on April 25, 1848 and start one of the most celebrated expeditions made by Victorian scientists on that region. Certainly, Edwards' book still is a great source of inspiration (and information) to all interested in the wonders and mysteries of the Amazon region. ‒ Moacyr B. Dias Filho "www.diasfilho.com.br" (Belem, PA Brazil). The new editions of the original book are periodically available on Amazon.com From: narrativepress.com ‒ Edwards often delights in the simple pleasures of rest and clever ways to avoid the ever present irritations of jungle life. His narrative brims with the joy of discovery. ‒ “There is one enemy, who, sometimes, approaches even a hammock, and takes a tribute from the unconscious sleeper, and that is the vampire bat. …no sooner has the declining sun unloosed the eve, than they may be seen issuing in long, black streams. Usually, we avoided all their intimacies by closing the shutters at sunset; but occasionally, some of them would find entrance through the tiles, and we went forth to battle them with all the doughty arms with our reach, nor stopped the slaughter until every presumptuous intruder had bit the dust – or less metaphorically, had sprawled upon the floor. Several thus captured, measured, each, upwards of two feet across the wings; but most were smaller. “ A trained observer (and author of Butterflies of North America), Edwards made important contributions to our understanding of the dense, lush and wild world of the Amazon jungle and its people; including their weapons. ‒ “The most curious, and the most formidable weapon, is the blowing-cane. This is eight or ten feet in length – two inches in diameter at the larger end, and gradually tapering to less than an inch at the other extremity. … The arrow for this cane, is a splint of a palm, one foot in length, sharpened, at one end, to a delicate point, and, at the other, wound with the silky tree-cotton, to the size of the tube. The point of this is dipped in poison, and slightly cut around, that when striking an object, it may break by its own weight, leaving the point in the wound…” This book, for the first time, brought readers into contact with giant snakes and flesh-eating fish. Voyage Up the River Amazon also inspired other scientists to further explore this rich and diverse region. English scientists Henry Bates and Alfred Wallace went to the Amazon the following year, following in Edwards’ footsteps.]

I also had quite a number of eggs of Aphrodite, and a few larvae from them. I endeavored this time to avoid dryness, as the contrary state seemed to be most natural to these larvae, and attained this end by placing wet sand in the bottom of a glass goblet, in which sand were stuck small spigs, or single leaves of different sorts of wild violets, all the species I find hereabouts at this season; I also tried the pansy.
