“The first volume relates to Rio de Janeiro, the Cape Horn passage, Valparaiso, and Callao and Lima. Volume two… Tahiti, Hawaii, Macao, Canton, Manila, the Cape of Good Hope, and St. Helena” (Hill). Forbes notes much of Hawaiian interest and adds that “Stewart’s acute observations on native life and customs and his description of the changes at court and advances in business condition and society in general make this a valuable account.” c.f, Forbes, II, 798; Hill 1644.
