Prima edizione in ottime condizioni di conservazione di questa importante opera dedicata a Rio de La Plata e Tenerife scritta dal celebre fisiologo, patologo, igienista, neurologo, antropologo e scrittore italiano, Paolo Mantegazza (Monza, 31 ottobre 1831 - San Terenzo, 28 agosto 1910) fra i primissimi divulgatori delle teorie darwiniane in Italia e fra i primi antropologi moderni. "Subito dopo la laurea, spinto dal desiderio di avviare imprese economiche e probabilmente anche per motivi sentimentali, il M. lasciò l'Italia: dopo essere passato per la Francia, la Germania e l'Inghilterra, si recò in Argentina, in Paraguay, in Bolivia, ove compì numerose osservazioni naturalistiche, botaniche, etniche ed etnoiatriche. Nel 1856 a Salta, in Argentina, conobbe e sposò Jacobina Tejada Montemajor, dalla quale l'anno successivo ebbe il suo primo figlio. Intrapreso nel 1858 il viaggio di ritorno in Italia, la lunga sosta alla quale, per motivi sanitari, fu costretto a Tenerife gli offrì l'opportunità di dedicarsi allo studio antropologico e craniomorfologico delle popolazioni locali. Frutto dell'esperienza maturata in questi viaggi furono i due volumi Sulla America meridionale; lettere mediche, editi a Milano nel 1858-60, e i lavori: Sulle virtù igieniche e medicinali della coca e sugli alimenti, in Annali universali di medicina, s. 4, XXI (1859), 501, pp. 449-519, al quale nel 1858 era stato conferito il premio Dell'Acqua dell'ospedale Maggiore di Milano; Degli alimenti nervosi narcotici, in L'Igea, III (1864), pp. 354 s.; Sull'uso terapeutico della coca, ibid., V (1866), p. 284; Rio de La Plata e Tenerife: viaggi e studi, Milano 1867." da Treccani.
