Excerpt from Notices of Brazil in 1828 and 1829, Vol. 2 of 2 Having seen every thing that Rio presented worth noticing, I availed myself of an opportunity of visiting the interior of the country. Mr. Milward, the superintendent of the mines of S. Jose, was in Rio, and about to return; and having been apprised by Colonel Cunningham of my wish to make a tour of the Minas Geraes, he was so good as to propose to me to accompany him. Just before our departure I met, at Rio, Mr. Holman, the traveller, who, though labouring under a total privation of sight, has visited and described so many countries: he had just returned from the district I proposed to explore, and gave me some useful information as to the mode of travelling.
