The author participated in the Napoleonic wars at the battles of Corfu and Waterloo.

He also served in Chile in a number of military and administrative positions, including governor of the Juan Fernandez Islands. The present work contains a vivid account of the revolutionary campaigns in Chile and Peru during the 1820s and '30s. Also included are descriptions of the manners and customs of the inhabitants of South America and an account of the earthquake of 1835 which devastated parts of Chile (shown on the folding map).
