Temple’s Travels in Various Parts of Peru (Google Books ⧉, Amazon ⧉, Bookshop ⧉)

The Travels of Marco Polo

A passage from Temple’s Travels in Peru has been quoted as exhibiting exaggeration in the description of the condor surpassing anything that can be laid to Polo’s charge here; but that is, in fact, only somewhat heavy banter directed against our traveller’s own narrative. (See Travels in Various Parts of Peru, 1830, II. 414–417.)
