# A narrative of travels on the Amazon and Rio Negro/Preface

Contents
PREFACE.
AN earnest desire to visit a tropical country, to behold the luxuriance of animal and vegetable life said to exist there, and to see with my own eyes all those wonders which I had so much delighted to read of in the narratives of travellers, were the motives that induced me to break through the trammels of business and the ties of home, and start for
"Some far land where endless summer reigns."
My attention was directed to Pará and the Amazon by Mr. Edwards's little book,"A Voyage up the Amazon," and I decided upon going there, both on account of its easiness of access and the little that was known of it compared with most other parts of South America.
I proposed to pay my expenses by making collections in Natural History, and I have been enabled to do so; and the pleasures I have found in the contemplation of the strange and beautiful objects continually met with, and the deep interest arising from the study in their native wilds of the varied races of mankind, have been such as to determine my continuing in the pursuit I have entered upon, and to cause me to look forward with pleasure to again visiting the wild and luxuriant scenery and the sparkling life of the tropics.
In the following pages I have given a narrative of my journeys and of the impressions excited at the time. The first and last portions are from my journals, with little alteraton; but all the notes made during two years, with the ​greater part of my collections and sketches, were lost by the burning of the ship on my homeward voyage. From the fragmentary notes and papers which I have saved I have written the intermediate portion, and the four last chapters on the Natural History of the country and on the Indian tribes, which, had I saved all my materials, were intended to form a separate work on the Physical History of the Amazon.
In conclusion, I trust that the great loss of materials which I have suffered, and which every naturalist and traveller will fully appreciate, may be taken into consideration, to explain the inequalities and imperfections of the narrative, and the meagreness of the other part of the work, so little proportionate to what might be expected from a four years' residence in such an interesting and little-known country.
London, October, 1853.
PREFACE TO NEW EDITION.
THIS issue is substantially a reprint of the original work, but the proof sheets have been carefully revised and many verbal corrections made. A few notes have been added, and English names have in many cases been substituted for the local terms which were used too freely in the first edition. The only omissions are the vocabularies of Indian languages and Dr. Latham's observations on them, which were thought to be unsuitable to the general reader. The publishers have supplied a few additional woodcuts which give a fair idea of Amazonian scenery.

# A Selection of Hymns, Used in the Parish Church, and the Church of the Holy Trinity, Ulverston/Hymn 122

HYMN 122.
Thou God, all glory, honour, pow'r, Art worthy to receive; Since all things by Thy pow'r were made And by Thy bounty live.
And worthy is the Lamb, all pow'r, Honour and wealth to gain, Glory and strength; who for our sins A sacrifice was slain.
All worthy Thou who hast redeem'd And ransom'd us to God, From ev'ry nation, ev'ry coast, By Thy most precious blood.
Blessing and honour, glory, pow'r, By all in earth and Heav'n, To Him that sits upon the throne, And to the Lamb be giv'n.
# A Selection of Hymns, Used in the Parish Church, and the Church of the Holy Trinity, Ulverston/Hymn 127

HYMN 127.
When all Thy mercies, O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost In wonder love and praise.
Oh, how shall words with equal warmth, The gratitude declare That glows within my fervent heart! But Thou can'st read it there.
Ten thousand thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; ​Nor is the least a cheerful heart That tastes those gifts with joy.
Through ev'ry period of my life May I Thy love proclaim; And after death, in distant worlds Resume the glorious theme.
Yea, through eternal ages, Lord; I would my tribute raise; But, oh! eternity's too short To utter all Thy praise.
# A Selection of Hymns, Used in the Parish Church, and the Church of the Holy Trinity, Ulverston/Hymn 124

HYMN 124.
Through all the dangers of the night, Preserv'd, O Lord, by Thee, Again we hail the cheerful light, Again we bend the knee.
Preserve us, Lord, throughout the day, And guide us by Thy arm; For they are safe and only they, Whom Thou preserv'st from harm.
Let all our words and all our ways Declare that we are Thine, ​That so the light of truth and grace Before the world may shine.
Let us ne'er turn away from Thee; O Saviour, hold us fast, Till with unclouded eyes we see Thy glorious face at last.
# A Selection of Hymns, Used in the Parish Church, and the Church of the Holy Trinity, Ulverston/Hymn 125

HYMN 125.
To God be glory, peace on earth, To all mankind good will; We bless, we praise, we worship Thee, And glorify Thee still.
And thanks for Thy great glory give, That fills our souls with light; O Lord! God! Heav'nly King! the God And Father of all might.
And Thou, begotten Son of God, Before all time begun; O Jesu Christ! God! Lamb of God! The Father's only Son!
Have mercy, Thou that tak'st the sins Of all the world away; Have mercy Saviour of mankind And hear us when we pray.
Thou, Lord, who with the Holy Ghost, Whom earth and Heav'n adore; In glory of the Father art Most High for evermore.
# A Selection of Hymns, Used in the Parish Church, and the Church of the Holy Trinity, Ulverston/Hymn 13

HYMN 13.
Captain of our salvation, take The souls we here present to Thee, ​And fit for Thy great service make These heirs of immortality; And let them in Thine image rise, And then transplant to Paradise. Unspotted from the world and pure, Preserve them for Thy glorious cause, Accustom'd daily to endure The welcome burden of Thy cross: Inured to toil and patient pain, Till all Thy perfect mind they gain. Train up Thy hardy Soldiers, Lord, In all their Captain's steps to tread! Or send them to proclaim Thy Word, Thy Gospel through the world to spread, Freely as they receive to give, And preach The Death by which we live!
# A Selection of Hymns, Used in the Parish Church, and the Church of the Holy Trinity, Ulverston/Hymn 123

HYMN 123.
Thou Refuge of my weary soul, On Thee, when sorrows rise, On Thee, when waves of trouble roll, My fainting hope relies.
To Thee I tell each rising grief, For Thou alone canst heal; Thy word can bring a sure relief For every pain I feel.
And still the ear of sov'reign grace Attends the mourner's pray'r; O may I ever find access To breathe my sorrows there!
Thy mercy-seat is open still There let my soul retreat; With humble hope attend Thy will, And wait beneath Thy feet.
# A Selection of Hymns, Used in the Parish Church, and the Church of the Holy Trinity, Ulverston/Hymn 126

HYMN 126.
What sinners value I resign; Lord, 'tis enough that Thou art mine; I shall behold Thy glorious face, And stand complete in righteousness.
This life's a dream, an empty show; But the bright world to which we go Hath joys substantial and sincere; When shall I wake and find me there?
O glorious hour; O blest abode! I shall be near and with my God; And flesh and sin no more control The joys eternal of the soul.
My flesh shall slumber in the ground, Till the last trumpet's joyful sound; Then burst its chains with sweet surprise, And in my Saviour's image rise.
# A Selection of Hymns, Used in the Parish Church, and the Church of the Holy Trinity, Ulverston/Hymn 128

HYMN 128.
When cares of life around me press, And worldly thoughts invade, Thou, Lord, wilt succour my distress, And grant Thy Spirit's aid.
When sin, the world, and Satan try To snare and fetter me, Thou wilt Thy heav'nly grace supply, And set Thy servant free.
Guarded by Thee, my dying day Shall need no help beside! Thy rod and staff shall be my stay, Thy light shall be my guide.
# A Selection of Hymns, Used in the Parish Church, and the Church of the Holy Trinity, Ulverston/Hymn 130

HYMN 130.
When gath'ring clouds around I view, And days are dark and friends are few, On Him I lean, who, not in vain, Experienced ev'ry human pain; He sees my wants, allays my fears, And counts and treasures up my tears.
If aught should tempt my soul to stray From Heav'nly wisdom's narrow way, To fly the good I would pursue, Or do the sin I would not do,— Still He who felt temptation's pow'r, Shall guard me in that dang'rous hour.
And Oh! when I have safely pass'd, Through ev'ry conflict but the last, Still, still unchanging, watch beside ​My painful bed,-for Thou hast died;, Then point to realms of countless day, And wipe the latest tear away.
# A Selection of Hymns, Used in the Parish Church, and the Church of the Holy Trinity, Ulverston/Hymn 129

HYMN 129.
When Christ came down on earth of old, He took our nature poor and low; He wore no form of angel mould, But shared our weakness and our woe.
​But when He cometh back once more, There shall be set the great white throne; And earth and Heav'n shall flee before The face of Him that sits thereon.
O Son of God! in glory crown'd, The judge ordain'd of quick and dead; O Son of man! so pitying found For all the tears Thy people shed;
Be with us in that awful hour, And by Thy crown, and by Thy grave, By all Thy love and all Thy pow'r, In that great Day of Judgment save.
# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Simms, William Gilmore

Simms, William Gilmore (1806-1870). -- Novelist, etc., b. at Charleston, South Carolina, began his literary life with journalism. He then for some time tried poetry, but without any distinct success except occasionally in Southern Passages and Pictures (1839). But in fiction, which he began in 1833 with Martin Faber, he was more successful, though rather an imitator of Cooper. The Yemassee (1835) is generally considered his best novel. He was less happy in his attempts at historical romance, such as Count Julian and The Damsel of Darien. During the war, in which he was naturally a strong partisan of the South, he was ruined, and his library was burned; and from these disasters he never recovered. He hadpage 345 a high repute as a journalist, orator, and lecturer. He was the first Southerner to achieve any name in literature.
# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Skene, William Forbes

Skene, William Forbes (1807-1892). -- Historian, 2nd s. of James S. of Rubislaw, friend of Sir Walter Scott, was a Writer to the Signet in Edinburgh, and Clerk of the Bills in the Court of Session. He wrote and ed. historical works of considerable authority, The Highlanders of Scotland (1837), and his most important work, Celtic Scotland (1876-80), and ed. of The Four Ancient Books of Wales (1868), and other Celtic writings.
# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Skinner, John

Skinner, John (1721-1807). -- Historian and song-writer, s. of a schoolmaster at Birse, Aberdeenshire, was ed. at Marischal Coll. Brought up as a Presbyterian, he became an Episcopalian and ministered to a congregation at Longside, near Peterhead, for 65 years. He wrote The Ecclesiastical History of Scotland from the Episcopalian point of view, and several songs of which The Reel of Tullochgorum and The Ewie wi' the Crookit Horn are the best known, and he also rendered some of the Psalms into Latin. He kept up a rhyming correspondence with Burns.
# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Smart, Christopher

Smart, Christopher (1722-1771). -- Poet, s. of the steward to Lord Vane, was b. at Shipbourne, Kent, and by the bounty of the Duchess of Cleveland sent to Camb. Here his ill-balanced mind showed itself in wild folly. Leaving the Univ. he came to London and maintained himself by conducting and writing for periodicals. His Poems on Several Occasions, which contained "The Hop Garden," was issued in 1752, and The Hilliad in 1753 against "Sir" John Hill, a notoriety of the day who had attacked him. His mind ultimately gave way, and it was in confinement that he produced by far his most remarkable work, the Song to David, a most original and powerful poem. Unfortunate to the last, he d. in the King's Bench prison, to which he had been committed for debt. He also translated Horace.
# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Skelton, John

Skelton, John (1460?-1529). -- Poet, b. in Norfolk, and ed. at Oxf. and Camb., of both of which he was cr. Poet Laureate, and perhaps held the same office under the King. He was appointed tutor to Henry VIII., and notwithstanding his sharp tongue, enjoyed some favour at Court. In 1498 he entered the Church, and became Rector of Diss in his native county. Hitherto he seems to have produced some translations only, but about this time he appears to have struck upon the vein which he was to work with such vigour and popularity. He turned his attention to abuses in Church and State, which he lashed with caustic satire, conveyed in short doggerel rhyming lines peculiar to himself, in which jokes, slang, invectives, and Latin quotations rush out pell-mell. His best works in this line are Why come ye not to Court? and Colin Clout, both directed against the clergy, and the former against Wolsey in particular. Piqued at his inconstancy (for S. had previously courted him) the Cardinal would have imprisoned him, had he not taken sanctuary in Westminster, where he remained until his death. Other works of his are The Tunning (brewing) of Elynor Rummynge, a coarsely humorous picture of low life, and the tender and fanciful Death of Philip Sparrow, the lament of a young lady over her pet bird killed by a cat.
# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Skelton, Sir John

Skelton, Sir John (1831-1897). -- Miscellaneous writer. B. in Edinburgh, ed. at the Univ. there, and called to the Scottish Bar 1854, he was Sec. and ultimately Chairman of the Local Government Board for Scotland.

Skipsey, Joseph (1832-1903). -- Poet, b. near North Shields, and from childhood worked in the mines. He pub. a few pieces of poetry in 1859, and soon after left working underground page 346and became caretaker of Shakespeare's house at Stratford-on-Avon.

Watson (1908).
# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Smiles, Samuel

Smiles, Samuel (1812-1904). -- Biographer and miscellaneous writer, b. at Haddington, ed. at the Grammar School there, studied medicine at Edin., and settled in practice in his native town. Subsequently he betook himself to journalism, and ed. a paper in Leeds. Afterwards he was sec. to various railways. His leisure was devoted to reading and writing, and his first publication was The Life of George Stephenson (1857). Self-Help, his most popular work, followed in 1859; it had an immense circulation, and was translated into 17 languages. It was followed up by Character (1871), Thrift (1875), and Duty (1880). The Lives of the Engineers and Industrial Biography appeared in 1863, The Huguenots, their Settlements, Churches, and Industries in England and Ireland (1867), and The Huguenots in France a little later. He also wrote biographies of Telford and James Watt, and of the Scottish naturalists, Edwards the shoemaker and Dick the baker. He received the degree of LL.D. from Edin. in 1878.

AFTER THE WAR
AFTER the war—I hear men ask—what then? As though this rock-ribbed world, sculptured with fire, And bastioned deep in the ethereal plan, Can never be its morning self again Because of this brief madness, man with man; As though the laughing elements should tire, The very seasons in their order reel; As though indeed yon ghostly golden wheel Of stars should cease from turning, or the moon Befriend the night no more, or the wild rose Forget the world, and June be no more June.
How many wars and long forgotten woes Unnumbered, nameless, made a like despair, In hearts long stilled; how many suns have set On burning cities blackening the air,— Yet dawn came dreaming back, her lashes wet With dew, and daisies in her innocent hair. Nor shall, for this, the soul's ascension pause, Nor the sure evolution of the laws That out of foulness lift the flower to sun, And out of fury forge the evening star.
Deem not Love's building of the world undone— Far Love's beginning was, her end is far; By paths of fire and blood her feet must climb, Seeking a loveliness she scarcely knows, Whose meaning is beyond the reach of Time.

AUSTRALIA TO ENGLAND
BY all the deeds to Thy dear glory done, By all the life blood spilt to serve Thy need, By all the fettered lives Thy touch hath freed By all Thy dream in us anew begun; By all the guerdon English sire to son Hath given of highest vision, kingliest deed, By all Thine agony, of God decreed For trial and strength, our fate with Thine is one.
Still dwells Thy spirit in our hearts and lips, Honour and life we hold from none but Thee, And if we live Thy pensioners no more But seek a nation's might of men and ships, 'Tis but that when the world is black with war Thy sons may stand beside Thee strong and free.

AUTUMN EVENING IN SERBIA
ALL the thin shadows Have closed on the grass, With the drone on their dark wings The night beetles pass. Folded her eyelids, A maiden asleep, Day sees in her chamber The pallid moon peep.
From the bend of the briar The roses are torn, And the folds of the wood tops Are faded and worn. A strange bird is singing Sweet notes of the sun, Tho' song time is over And Autumn begun.

BACK TO REST
(Composed while marching to Rest Camp after severe fighting at Loos.)
A leaping wind from England, The skies without a stain, Clean cut against the morning Slim poplars after rain, The foolish noise of sparrows And starlings in a wood— After the grime of battle We know that these are good.
​Death whining down from Heaven, Death roaring from the ground, Death stinking in the nostril, Death shrill in every sound, Doubting, we charged and conquered— Hopeless we struck and stood. Now when the fight is ended We know that it was good.
We that have seen the strongest Cry like a beaten child, The sanest eye unholy, The cleanest hands defiled, We that have known the heart blood Less then the lees of wine, We that have seen men broken, We know man is divine.
William Noel Hodgson
