Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of South America and Mexico, Vol. 2 of 2: Comprising Their Discovery, Geography, Politics, Commerce and Revolutions The republic of Colombia comprises an extent of country, embracing 22 or 1320 miles of longitude, stretching from the mouth of Oronoco, to the western extremity of the Isthmus of Panama; and of 18 or 1080 miles of latitude, extending 111 to the north, and 61/2 to the south of the equator, calculating from Cape la Vela to the southern extremity of the republic. This vast territory is bounded north and east by the Atlantic ocean, and by the territories of Guiana; west by the republic of Guatemala, or central America, and the Pacific ocean; and south by the republic of Peru, and the river Amazon. The territory comprised within the above mentioned limits constitutes one of the most interesting portions of the globe. Bordering on two oceans, its waters are unrivalled; it embraces a large portion of the immense valley of the Amazon, with the whole of the great vallies of the Oronoco and Magdalena, and is traversed by some of the loftiest mountains in the world. It possesses every diversity of soil and climate, unrivalled commercial advantages, and mineral treasures, which present the most powerful stimulus, and promise the greatest reward to the industry and enterprise of civilized man. The Cordillera of the Andes, which traverses the whole continent of South America, in the southern part of the republic, divides into two parallel ranges, forming the lofty valley of Quito, the plain of which is elevated 9000 feet above the level of the ocean.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from View of South America and Mexico, Vol. 1 of 2: Comprising Their History, the Political Condition, Geography, Agriculture, Commerce, &C. Of the Republics of Mexico, Guatemala, Columbia, Peru, the United Provinces of South America and Chile, With a Complete History of the Revolution, in Each of These In That the discovery and colonizing of a new world, several times 'as'large as the continent of Europe, would produce an important change in the commercial and political relations of the maritime powers of that continent, must have been fore seen at the time but that it should have had an important moral influence on the character of mankind, and have been the means of securing their rights, establishing their liberties, and exalting their destinies, no one could havelanticipated. On the contrary, it must have been supposed, that the estab lishment of distant colonies, dependant on the parent state, nursed by its care, protected by its arms, and entirely subject to, its power, would have tended to colonial oppression which by strengthening the power of the sovereign, would re-act upon the parent state, and thus tend to the oppression of both. Whatever may have been the case, with others, this was un doubtedly true of the Spanish Colonies, down to the period of the late revolution; Their degradation and Oppression aliena ted them from the parent country, and prepared their minds to embrace the first opportunity to throw off the yoke of a' dis tant and foreign power, which instead of conducting towards them, like an affectionate mother, treated them with the jealousy, selfishness, and cruelty of an unfe'eling step-dame.
