This volume seeks to show how and to what extent Brazil "has been opened up" and developed, and by whom, and to outline some of the work that remains to be done. Miss Elliott first of all discusses present social conditions in Brazil, explaining who the Brazilian is, what political and social events have moulded him and what he has done to develop his territory; a territory 300,000 square miles larger than that of the United States. Later sections deal with finance, the monetary conditions of the country, the problem of exchange, and the source of income. Still others take up various means of transit, the railroads, the coast-wise and the ocean service, rivers and roads. Industries are treated in considerable detail—cattle, cotton raising, weaving, coffee growing and the rubber trade. An unusual feature comes under the heading of "The World's Horticultural and Medicinal Debt to Brazil" in which the reader is made to realize something of the immense forestal treasure house comprised in the huge, wild, half explored regions of north Brazil.
