He relates his arrival at Buenos Aires, his journey across the Pampas of Argentina, then over the cordilleras to Santiago and Valparaiso, and by sea to Callao and Lima. He describes a visit to General Bernardo O'Higgins and gives various particulars concerning General Simon Bolivar, General Antonio Jose de Sucre's expedition, and other events of importance in the liberation of Spanish South America" - Hill. Proctor was the cousin and brother-in-law of scholar and forger John Payne Collier, who may have helped him with the text, and who certainly helped him negotiate terms with his Edinburgh publisher.
