There is astonishingly little in the literature about South America which explains what that continent really means to business people who are open to extend their trade in foreign markets. Such an interpretation is given in this book, together with an interesting account of the picturesque and romantic sides of South American life, its history, customs and resources, also information for the business man. Mr. Babson is known as a writer on economic questions and as an interpreter of statistical data and industrial and business conditions. He has for years methodically studied South America and its business possibilities. He is peculiarly fitted to draw conclusions about South America as an economic problem, which will be of the utmost value to the banker, manufacturer, exporter, investor, and the general student of foreign relations, affairs, and trade. The book is especially authoritative and official on account of the fact that leading government officials, usually the Presidents of the various countries, have co-operated with Mr. Babson. As a result his book should prove a suggestive volume for all having or hoping to have business relations with the countries described and also for the general reader who is interested in the economic side of the problem. -------- CHARLES M. DOUGHTY The Titans. A Dramatic Poem. By CHARLES M. DOUGHTY, author of “Travels in Arabia Deserta,” “The Dawn in Britain,” “The Cliffs,” “The Clouds,” etc. Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 5s. net; postage, 5d. SOME PRESS OPINIONS ON MR. DOUGHTY’S EARLIER WORKS “The sense of England is the burning thing in these two dramas; the sense of England as only wartime can make it, which glows through all the magnificent monologue with which ‘The Cliffs’ open, or which brightens into most exquisite flame in ‘The Clouds.’”--LASCELLES ABERCROMBIE, in the Quarterly Review. “Mr. Doughty occupies a position by himself. The vigorous impulse and imaginative strength of his genius have created their own medium. Work which owes its power to the bigness of its design and the sheer weight of imagination and intellect. “This is an amazingly vivid picture of the fury and wreckage of war. In part of the poem Mr. Doughty approaches more nearly to the idyllic than in any other of his works. It is a great work, full of faith and thought and compelling sincerity, and rich poetic beauty.”--Spectator.
