Juan Ignacio Molina (1740 1829) was a Jesuit priest born in Chile
but forced to flee to Europe after his religious order was expelled
from the Spanish Empire in 1767. He settled in Bologna, Italy, and
began to write a natural history of his homeland, which was first
published in Italian in 1782 (he is also known as Giovanni Ignazio
Molina). He completed a second volume on the history of the people
of Chile in 1786, and a version of the book was in the library of
HMS Beagle. This two-volume English translation was published in
1809, and also includes notes from other explorers, including a
1791 account of Chile by Pedro Gonzalez de Agueros (1768 93) and a
1774 description of Patagonia by Thomas Falkner (1707 84). Volume 2
covers the 'civil history' of Chile, discussing the indigenous
people living there and the arrival of Spanish settlers.
