SIMON, Etienne, Flemish explorer, born in Bruges in 1747; died in Geneva in 1809. He followed the sea for several years, and afterward fixed his residence in Rio Janeiro as a merchant. In 1792 he was granted a tract of land, and set out for Europe in search of colonists, but failed in the scheme, owing to the war that then raged on the continent, and, returning to Brazil in 1795, began to travel. After spending nine years thus he returned to Europe in 1804, and, settling in Switzerland, devoted the remainder of his life to arranging his notes. His works include "Recit d'une ascension au Mont Tapagayo dans l'inthrieur du Brhsil " (Geneva, 1805) ; " Voyage h travers les provinces de Sao Paulo et d'Espiritu Santo" (1805); "La domination Portugaise au Brasil " (1806); " Belem Para et Rio de Janeiro' (1807) ; and ' Coup d'ceil historique sur les missions etablies par les Jesuites dans le Paraguay" (1808).
