Excerpt from South America The history of a continent such as South America, con fined to the limits of a single volume of moderate size, must of necessity contain some elements of mere survey. Nevertheless, since in no other but a condensed form could the respective strides achieved by the various nations of this continent be satisfactorily judged and compared, the author is encouraged to hope that this small work may fill in one of the most obvious of the many gaps in the English versions of South American history. He has endeavoured to lay stress on the trend of the authorities and peoples in question rather than to emphasize the rigid succession of Governors and Presi dents. In the same way, since space has had to be con sidered, it was thought desirable to introduce at any length only those personalities notable for their actions and intrinsic inﬂuence, leaving in the background those others whose only claim to the interest of posterity lies in the weight of the Office they held.

Excerpt from A Bibliography of South America I have divided my subject into two parts the first contains an alphabetically arranged list of authors with only such works as they have written on South America included beneath their names; the second and more im portant part contains a list of all these works re-arranged and classified under their various subject headings so far as my information on their contents is correct. They are also' classified according to their dates of publication so that the order in which books have followed one another in their various sections may be easily noted. This second part includes every book or magazine article in English upon any subject dealing with South America which has come within my view, and includes many items which for want of further information cannot appear in the first part. This work is the result of many searchings into all sorts of odd places and much labour in arranging and re-arranging the titles under their most suitable subject headings, it was first compiled for the purpose of, gaining some idea of the written available knowledge dealing with Argentina but the necessity for taking a broader view of my subject was soon discovered and I had to extend the originally intended Bibliography of Argentina to the more comprehensive title of South America, justifying the change by including an additional collection of titles of works on the other Republics of this Continent.

Excerpt from A Voice From South America First then, with respect to education, - and I would here premise, that it would be as unfair, as it would be unwise, to compare the progress of the countries we are Speaking of, with that of any of the settled States of Europe or North America. The circum stances Of South America are peculiar she has had much to struggle against. During the dominion Of Spain, which continued for about three centuries, no encouragement was given to the Creole population, to make any advances in mental improvement, in consequence of the monopolies and reservations in favour of her European subjects. NO sooner was the colossal power of Spaininthe Indies shaken to its centre, than a host of sovereign states emerged from the wreck. Private jealousies, and public feuds, like rank weeds in a neglected soil, were immediately engendered, and it has too tre quently happened that, instead of mutually assisting each other, when that friendly aid was most needed.

Excerpt from South America: A Geography Reader South America, even more than Africa, has for years been the Dark Continent to the average teacher. Its geographic literature _is meager, and much of it is in Span ish, Portuguese, and German. Where can the teacher go for a lively description of the long desert of Atacama? Until the English edition of Brazil by Pierre Denis was published (191 r), where could be found a real explanation of the geographic provinces of that country? To-day the best work on the Argentine is in French; and the best brief description of the high plateaus of Bolivia and Peru is in German. It is impossible for the busy teacher in the public schools to gather from the best books, even if lists of. Them were available, the material for good work on the. Geography of South America. The aim of this little book is to put into convenient form for elementary students some of the material I have gathered during the past ten years of study and travel. It is not a handbook. It does not pretend to cover all parts of the continent in the same detail. I have chosen those subjects that appear to me to be most interesting or most important in the present state of knowledge of South America. N 0 one who writes a book worth reading applies a foot rule to his subject. I conceive that an excellent geography of any continent might be written for children which dealt only with houses or dress or villages or roads. No one carries, or indeed could carry, into his maturer years a well-proportioned knowledge of grammar school subjects. That some knowledge should stick and that it should be sound and important - these are the chief considerations. So the question of presentation is.

Excerpt from Central America, the West Indies and South America IN the present volume it has been the chief object of the Editor to adapt Von Hellwald's admirably-written survey of the countries treated of, to the presumed requirements of English readers, To this end the information contained in the works of many recent British travellers, overlooked by the German author, or published since his volume appeared, has been utilised, and statistical details corrected throughout in accordance with the most recent accessible data. In other respects the chief alterations introduced have been in reference to Natural History and the Geo graphical Relations of Faunas and Floras. Wherever these important subjects were treated of by Von Bellwald, it appeared to the Editor that the facts and their applica tions were not given with the accuracy which is noticeable in other portions of his work, and it was found necessary, therefore, wholly to recast these sections. In doing this, however, nothing has been introduced but what is likely to be perfectly intelligible and interesting to the general reader.

Excerpt from The Andean Land (South America), Vol. 1 of 2 The literature in English upon South America is scant compared with the magni tude and importance of the subject. Since the days of Robertson and Stevenson there has been a dearth of books upon South America until the last decade. Perhaps Prescott's charming classic, the Conquest of Peru, which was published in the time intervening, was compensation enough for the quiescent state of all other writers.

Excerpt from A Trip to South America, Exercises in Spanish Composition These lessons are intended for students in high schools and, colleges who have mastered the elements of Spanish grammar. They form a series of consecutive conversations between a young business man and a college instruotor who 'first plan a trip to South America and then visit Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, and Santiago de Chile. It is hoped that in each lesson the Spanish conversation will be learned verbatim by the student before he attempts to do the exer cise in composition. The English exercises are purposely kept close to the Spanish in order that the student may make as few errors as possible in Spanish constructions, the author's theory being that it is Wiser to give the student the idiomatic Spanish phrase at the very outset, and not allow him the slightest opportunity to write phrases that have an English ﬂavor. Each lesson contains in part 2 one or more irregular verbs put into short, colloquial phrases introducing as many simple, current idioms as possible.
