By the west, it is not to be understood that these countries are actually in the west; but that, as we travelled to them from those parts which are situate between the east and the north-east, and consequently came thither westwards, we therefore reckon them as being in the west . The people are idolaters and have many cities, of which the principal is called Caindu, after the name of the province, and is built on the frontiers.
The population consists of two hundred and seventy souls, including men, women, and children. They remained as yet without the Fort, in no fear, as the natives live peaceably with them. They are situate three miles from the Sea, on the river by us called Mauritius, by others, Rio de Montagne....
A portion of this property was a little farm situate at Brampton, in Huntingdonshire, from which village I took the title I now enjoy.

Coiganzu is a very fair and rich city, situate towards the south-east and east, in the very entrance of the province of Mangi . In this city, which is situated on the river Carama , there are vast numbers of ships employed in trade, and great quantities of salt are made in that neighbourhood.
The most picturesque scenes lie near the falls of the Carony, and in that chain of mountains, two hundred and fifty toises high, which separates the tributary streams of the Orinoco from those of the Cuyuni. There are situate the Villa de Upata,* the capital of the missions, Santa Maria, and Cupapui. Population in 1797, 657 souls; in 1803, 769 souls.
And this girl over on the left here, "You observe," said Bonaventure, "I situate the lambs on the left and the kids on the right," this little, slender crescent of human moonlight, with her hair in two heavy, black, down-falling plaits, meek, drooping eyes, long lashes, soft childish cheeks and full throat, was Sidonie Le Blanc. Bonaventure murmured:
