Translation of Ulloa's Relacion historica del viage a la America Meridional.
The "Resumen historico del origen, y succession de los Incas, y demas soberanos del Perú", by Garcilaso de la Vega, found in the original, is omitted from this translation.
John Adams was not the translator of the English edition, but merely furnished the "Notes and observations" and "Account of the Brazils."
The account of the scientific work of the expedition, written by Jorge Juan y Santacilia, was published separately, Madrid, 1748, under title: Observaciones astronomicas, y phisicas hechas ... en los reynos del Perù. It is not included in this translation.
