Borba: "Paul Marcoy is the pseudonym of L. de Saint-Cricq, who also used the name 'Carmoy.' He was a companion of Castelnau. After a life of hazards and adventure, Marcoy lived quietly as 'Inspector of the Pordeaux Botanica Gardens.' In this lively and witty book he describes one of his journeys. The Brazilian part of the voyage includes a journey down the Amazon from Tabatinga to Belem."
