Notes	AAS Notes: "It has been my aim to keep as close to historical records, as was consistent with a work wherein imagination is allowed to make up for the deficiencies of actual tradition.... By accident, I met with an ancient work upon South America, in which was the following sentence; 'twelve leagues southward from St. Salvador, appears the village of Cachoeira, formerly belonging to an unknown Portuguese ...' This hint suggested to me the idea of making the Portuguese, and my principal character, the same person."--Preface, v. 1, p. [iii]-iv. Vol. 1: viii, 272 p.; v. 2: [2], 282 p. Shaw, R.R.
