Hipolito Unanue, Observaciones sobre el clima de Lima (1806)

The medical topography of a South American capital, by the professor of prime medicine at San Marcos, printed at Lima in 1806 and reissued at Madrid in 1815. It carries barometer readings kept in the city, four fossil molars sorted between mammoth and Cuvier's mastodon, rules for vaccinating an infant, and an argument that the artists of Mexico, Quito and Cuzco could match the best of Europe. It also carries a table of the castes of Lima headed by the word degradations.
