''British Guiana, The Essequibo And Potaro Rivers: With An Account Of A Visit To The Recently Discovered Kaieteur Falls'' is a book written by Edward John Webber in 1873. The book provides a detailed account of the author’s travels in British Guiana, a former British colony located in South America. The focus of the book is on the Essequibo and Potaro Rivers, which are two of the most important waterways in the region. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of the author’s journey. The first chapter provides a general overview of British Guiana, including its geography, climate, and history. The subsequent chapters focus on the author’s travels along the Essequibo and Potaro Rivers, describing the scenery, wildlife, and local communities he encounters along the way. The highlight of the book is the author’s account of his visit to the Kaieteur Falls, which had only recently been discovered at the time of his visit. The Kaieteur Falls are one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world, and the author’s description of them is both vivid and poetic. Overall, ''British Guiana, The Essequibo And Potaro Rivers: With An Account Of A Visit To The Recently Discovered Kaieteur Falls'' is a fascinating travelogue that provides a unique insight into a little-known corner of South America. The book is beautifully written and full of interesting anecdotes and observations, making it a must-read for anyone interested in the history and geography of the region.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
