The work serves as a comprehensive exploration of the geography, inhabitants, and notable expeditions associated with the Americas, especially focusing on the empires of Mexico and Peru. It aims to document aspects like the native populations' customs, the remarkable voyages undertaken by explorers, and the landscapes that characterize the New World. The beginning of the book sets the stage by discussing the geographical constraints of the oceans surrounding the Americas, emphasizing how these waters were once largely unexplored. Ogilby reflects on the ignorance of ancient navigators regarding the existence of the Americas, contrasting it with the more recent discoveries attributed to pioneering explorers like Christopher Columbus and Americus Vesputius. He also starts to address uncertainties about the timeline and origins of the inhabitants of America, priming the reader for an in-depth analysis of the continent's rich and complex history as detailed in the subsequent chapters.
