On remar que entre le blanc le noir toutes les nuances oppofées qu'on peut fuppofer de l'un â-l'autre extrême; de forte qu'en prenant ces deux termes on peut dire que la différence ell du jour à la nuit. Le rouge tient un milieu entre ces deux couleurs, différant autant de l'un que de l'autre c'eû la couleur des Indiens.

En 1734 el jovencisimo marino andaluz Antonio de Ulloa (Sevilla, 1716-Cadiz, 1795) es comisionado para encabezar, junto a Jorge Juan y Santacilia, con el que redactaria numerosas obras cientificas en colaboracion, la participacion espanola en la expedicion geodesico-astronomica de La Condamine a Quito, parte entonces del Virreinato del Peru. De 1735 a 1744 recibe Ulloa, joven de talento, una completisima formacion en el campo de la historia natural de manos de algunos de los mas notables expertos franceses en la materia. A su regreso publica la memoria de la expedicion en sus Observaciones astronomicas y fisicas hechas en los Reinos del Peru, obra asombrosamente moderna y de grandisima repercusion en la epoca. En 1758 se hace nuevamente a la mar rumbo a America, donde es nombrado gobernador de Huancavelica, en Peru y, posteriormente, primer gobernador espanol de la Florida Occidental. Durante ese periodo, y gracias a sus experiencias cosechadas en distintos viajes por America y a sus conocimientos cientificos, Ulloa redacta el tratado que ahora ofrecemos, donde estudia la geografia, la geologia, el clima, la flora y la fauna de los actuales Peru y Ecuador, asi como las costumbres de los nativos y sus religiones y lenguas. El cientifico, explorador y cronista, volcado en ofrecer al publico cuanto brindaba de particular el Nuevo Mundo, publica sus Noticias americanas. Entretenimientos fisico-historicos sobre la America meridional, y la septentrional oriental, obra de inmensa importancia en el siglo XVIII y grandisimo interes en la actualidad para comprender el origen y el desarrollo de esta parte de America. Antonio de Ulloa fue miembro de la Sociedad Real Britanica, la Academia de Ciencias de Paris, la Real Academia Sueca y la Academia de Berlin y fundo el Museo de Historia Natural de Madrid, el Observatorio Astronomico de Cadiz y el primer laboratorio metalurgico de Espana; transcurrio sus ultimos dias como director general de la armada espanola. Publicamos ahora esta edicion facsimil por la trascendencia historica del texto y por la belleza tipografica de la impresion, hecha en la madrilena Imprenta Real.
