The year 2010 sees the official celebration of the bicentenary of
the revolutions in the Ro de la Plata. This book contains the
narrative that Thomas Kinder wrote of his voyage to that region in
1808-10 and of his stay in Madeira, Montevideo and Buenos Aires
which has never been published nor, apparently, used by any
historian. Thomas Kinder was an English banker who later featured
among those who financed the new republic of Peru. His voyage to
the Ro de la Plata followed the illfated British attempts to
capture Buenos Aires in 1806-7. He obtained first hand information
about the campaigns of Beresford and Whitelocke and became familiar
with all the leading figures of the revolutionary period.
