Enock, C. Reginald (Charles Reginald)
Latin America
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. By W. 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. By HARRY 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._
