"Peru as It Is" is a study of the social and physical features of Peru. The book was written by a Scottish physician Archibald Smith, after the first ten years he had spent in this country. He was professionally brought into contact with persons of all classes and ranks in society, from the palace to the humblest hut, both in the interior of Peru, and in its capital, Lima. This made the author more than adequate to tells everybody's side of the story and digs deeper into the core of the problem.
