[Illustration: MAP OF TWO HEMISPHERES.] A SUMMER JOURNEY TO BRAZIL By Alice R. Humphrey “To the general American public Brazil is a _terra incognita_. Less is known of it than of Asia, Africa, the distant islands of the sea, or even of the North Pole.” “I asked no other thing, No other was denied. I offered Being for it; The mighty merchant smiled. Brazil? He twirled a button, Without a glance my way: ‘But, madam, is there nothing else That we can show to-day?’” EMILY DICKINSON. [Illustration] NEW YORK BONNELL, SILVER & CO.
