THE ADVANCE OF SOUTH AMERICAA FEW NOTES ON SOME INTERESTING BOOKS DEALING WITH THE PAST HISTORY, PRESENT AND FUTURE POSSIBILITIES OF THE GREAT CONTINENT
When in 1906 Mr. Fisher Unwin commissioned the late Major Martin Hume to prepare a series of volumes by experts on the South American Republics, but little interest had been taken in the country as a possible field for commercial development. The chief reasons for this were ignorance as to the trade conditions and the varied resources of the country, and the general unrest and instability of most of the governments. With the coming of the South American Series of handbooks the financial world began to realize the importance of the country, and, with more settled conditions, began in earnest to develop the remarkable natural resources which awaited outside enterprise. Undoubtedly the most informative books on the various Republics are those included inThe South American Series, each of which is the work of a recognized authority on his subject.
“The output of books upon Latin America has in recent years been very large, a proof doubtless of the increasing interest that is felt in the subject. Of these the ‘South American Series’ is the most noteworthy.”The Times.
“When the ‘South American Series’ is completed, those who take interest in Latin-American affairs will have an invaluable encyclopædia at their disposal.”Westminster Gazette.
“Mr. Unwin’s ‘South American Series’ of books are of special interest and value to the capitalist and trader.”—Chamber of Commerce Journal.
Full particulars of the volumes in the “South American Series,” also of other interesting books on South America, will be found in the pages following.

BOOKS ON SOUTH AMERICA
OTHER BOOKS ON SOUTH AMERICA
Spanish America: Its Romance, Reality and Future. ByC. R. Enock, Author of “The Andes and the Amazon,” “Peru,” “Mexico,” “Ecuador.” Illustrated and with a Map. 2 vols. Cloth, 30/- net the set.
Starting with the various States of Central America, Mr. Enock then describes ancient and modern Mexico, then takes the reader successively along the Pacific Coast, the Cordillera of the Andes, enters the land of the Spanish Main, conducts the reader along the Amazon Valley, gives a special chapter to Brazil and another to the River Plate and Pampas. Thus all the States of Central and South America are covered. The work is topographical, descriptive and historical; it describes the people and the cities, the flora and fauna, the varied resources of South America, its trade, railways, its characteristics generally.
South America: An Industrial and Commercial Field. ByW. H. Koebel. Illustrated. Cloth, 18/- net. Second Impression.
“The book considers such questions as South American commerce, British interests in the various Republics, international relations and trade, communications, the tendency of enterprise, industries, etc. Two chapters devoted to the needs of the continent will be of especial interest to manufacturers and merchants, giving as they do valuable hints as to the various goods required, while the chapter on merchandise and commercial travellers affords some sound and practical advice.”Chamber of Commerce Journal.
Vagabonding down the Andes.ByHarry A. Franck, author of “A Vagabond Journey Round the World,” etc. With a Map and 176 Illustrations. Cloth, 25/- net. Second Impression.
“The book is a brilliant record of adventurous travel among strange scenes and with even more strange companions, and vividly illustrates, by its graphic text and its admirable photographs, the real conditions of life in the backwood regions of South America.”Manchester Guardian.
“Mr. Franck is to be congratulated on having produced a readable and even fascinating book. His journey lay over countries in which an increasing interest is being felt. Practically speaking, he may be said to have started from Panama, wandered through Colombia, spending some time at Bogota, and then going on to Ecuador, of which Quito is the centre. Next he traversed the fascinating country of the Incas, from the borders of which he entered Bolivia, going right across that country till he approached Brazil. He passed through Paraguay, cut through a corner of the Argentine to Uruguay, and so to the River Plata and the now well-known town of Buenos Ayres.”Country Life.
In the Wilds of South America: Six Years of Exploration in Colombia, Venezuela, British Guiana, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil. ByLeo E. Miller, of the American Museum of Natural History. With 48 Full-page Illustrations and with Maps. Cloth, 21/- net.
This volume represents a series of almost continuous explorations hardly ever paralleled in the huge areas traversed. The author is a distinguished field naturalist—one of those who accompanied Colonel Roosevelt on his famous South American expedition—and his first object in his wanderings over 150,000 miles of territory was the observation of wild life; but hardly second was that of exploration. The result is a wonderfully informative, impressive and often thrilling narrative in which savage peoples and all but unknown animals largely figure, which forms an infinitely readable book and one of rare value for geographers, naturalists and other scientific men.
The Putumayo: The Devil’s Paradise.Travels in the Peruvian Amazon Region and an Account of the Atrocities committed upon the Indians therein. ByE. W. Hardenburg, C.E. Edited and with an Introduction byC. Reginald Enock, F.R.G.S. With a Map and 16 Illustrations. Demy 8vo, Cloth, 10/6 net. Second Impression.
“The author gives us one of the most terrible pages in the history of trade.”Daily Chronicle.
Tramping through Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras.ByHarry A. Franck, With a Map and 88 Illustrations. Cloth, 7/6 net.
“Mr. Harry Franck is a renowned vagabond with a gift for vivid description. . . . His record is well illustrated and he tells his story in an attractive manner, his descriptions of scenery being so well done that one feels almost inclined to risk one’s life in a wild race dwelling in a land of lurid beauty.”Liverpool Mercury.
“Mr. Franck has combined with an enthralling and amusing personal narrative a very vivid and searching picture, topographical and social, of a region of much political and economic interest.”Glasgow Herald.
Mexico(Story of the Nations). BySusan Hale. With Maps and 47 Illus. Cloth, 7/6 net. Third Impression.
“This is an attractive book. There is a fascination about Mexico which is all but irresistible. . . . The authoress writes with considerable descriptive power, and all through the stirring narrative never permits us to lose sight of natural surroundings.”Dublin Review.
Things as they are in Panama.ByHarry A. Franck. With 50 Illustrations. Cloth, 7/6 net.
“Mr. Franck writes from personal knowledge, fortified by the aptitude of a practical and shrewd observer with a sense of humour, and the result is a word-picture of unusual vividness.”—Standard.
“A sparkling narrative which leaves one wondering again why the general reader favours modern fiction so much when it is possible to get such vivacious yarns as this about strange men and their ways in a romantic corner of the tropics.”Daily Mail.
The Spell of the Tropics.Poems.ByRandolph H. Atkin. Cloth, 4/6 net.
The author has travelled extensively in Central and South America, and has strongly felt the spell of those tropic lands, with all their splendour and romance, and yet about which so little is known. The poems are striking pen-pictures of life as it is lived by those men of the English-speaking races whose lot is cast in the sun-bathed countries of Latin-America. Mr. Atkin’s verses will reach the hearts of all who feel the call of the wanderlust, and, having shared their pleasures and hardships, his poems will vividly recall to “old-timers” bygone memories of days spent in the land of the Coconut Tree.

“It is many years since Messrs. T. Fisher Unwin commenced the publication of a series of volumes now entitled “The Story of the Nations.” Each volume is written by an acknowledged authority on the country with which it deals. The series has enjoyed great popularity, and not an uncommon experience being the necessity for a second, third, and even fourth impression of particular volumes.”Scotsman.
“Probably no publisher has issued a more informative and valuable series of works than those included in “The Story of the Nations.” ”To-Day.
“The series is likely to be found indispensable in every school library.”Pall Mall Gazette.
“An admirable series.”Spectator.
“Such a universal history as the series will present us with in its completion will be a possession such as no country but our own can boast of. Its success on the whole has been very remarkable.”Daily Chronicle.
“There is perhaps no surer sign of the increased interest that is now being taken in historical matters than the favourable reception which we believe both here and in America is being accorded to the various volumes of “The Story of the Nations” as they issue in quick succession from the press. More than one volume has reached its third edition in England alone. . . . Each volume is written by one of the foremost English authorities on the subject with which it deals. . . . It is almost impossible to over-estimate the value of the series of carefully prepared volumes, such as are the majority of those comprising this library. . . . The illustrations make one of the most attractive features of the series.”—Guardian.
A NEW VOLUME IN “THE STORY OF THE NATIONS”READY IN THE AUTUMN, 1920
BELGIUMFROM THE ROMAN INVASION TO THE PRESENT DAY
By EMILE CAMMAERTS. With Maps and Illustrations. Large Crown 8vo. Cloth, 7/6 net.
A complete history of the Belgian nation from its origins to its present situation has not yet been published in this country. Up till now Belgian history has only been treated as a side issue in works concerned with the Belgian art, Belgian literature or social conditions. Besides, there has been some doubt with regard to the date at which such a history ought to begin, and a good many writers have limited themselves to the modern history of Belgium because they did not see in olden times sufficient evidence of Belgian unity. According to the modern school of Belgian historians, however, this unity, founded on common traditions and common interests, has asserted itself again and again through the various periods of history in spite of invasion, foreign domination and the various trials experienced by the country. The history of the Belgian nation appears to the modern mind as a slow development of one nationality constituted by two races speaking two different languages but bound together by geographical, economic and cultural conditions. In view of the recent proof Belgium has given of her patriotism during the world-war, this impartial enquiry into her origins may prove interesting to British readers. Every opportunity has been taken to insist on the frequent relationships between the Belgian provinces and Great Britain from the early middle ages to the present time, and to show the way in which both countries were affected by them. Written by one of the most distinguished Belgian writers, who has made a specialty of his subject, this work will be one of the most brilliant and informing contributions in “The Story of the Nations.”
