Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from South America an Industrial and Commercial Field Situation of the world's commerce to-day - Influences of the last two decades - Aim of German trade - Possibilities of a commercial and industrial war - The results of victory - The industrial situation of Britain to-day - Some gratifying circumstances - The machinery of industrial prosperity - Needs of the future. There comes a time in commerce - which, after all, is part of the life of an overwhelming multitude of men - when the tide of fortune is at the flood. It is needless to paraphrase Shakespeare in order to impress the point. The difficulty with so many men is to distinguish between the flood and the ebb. It is clearly owing to the possession or the lack of this power of judgment that fortunes and reputations are made and lost. It will sound both pompous and unnecessary to explain that it is the lowest ebb which precedes the first swellings of the flood. Yet when this sort of metaphor is applied to a definite case and period, there is some excuse for it. It would decidedly seem that the condition of British trade with South America at the present moment justifies it. No faculty is more dangerous just now than that of the prophetic instinct.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Industrial and Commercial South America "Industrial and Commercial South America" has been prepared, as was the descriptive guide, "The South American Tour," with the desire to aid in promoting acquaintance with South America and, as a natural sequence, friendship and trade. As far as possible the facts have been gleaned from publications of the various Governments, in a few cases from those of our own, from high officials of many large companies, and from a few authoritative works. While I can hardly hope that despite all care and effort I have made no slip anywhere, I devoutly trust that no errors will be discovered of such magnitude as I have often noted in my reading of important publications and that any here detected will receive lenient criticism. The vast amount of labor involved in the collection of data and the effort made to attain accuracy has been such that no time remained for rhetorical embellishment unless with delayed publication. Great pains have been taken with spelling and accents, the correct use of the latter discovered with difficulty, as they are altogether omitted in many works and in others by no means to be depended upon. Yet they are most important for correct pronunciation. In this text the spelling of some names varies by intention because the two spellings arc frequent and authorized, and should therefore he familiar. Thus Marowijne is the Dutch and Maroni the English name for the same river. So Suriname is spelled with and without the e. South American names ending in either s or z are found, the z common in older publications. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Future of South America Classic Reprint written by Roger Ward Babson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Future of South America Owing to the many exceedingly useful books on Latin America already published, I hesitate somewhat in preparing another. Most if not all of the books now issued, however, are written either for the traveler or the historian, without special appeal to commercial and industrial interests. In view of this I have, during the past few years, been systematically collecting information regarding Latin America which should be of service to those looking at this continent from a moneymaking, rather than from an historical, point of view. Although I have personally visited most of the countries of South America, I do not pose as a traveler. My visits have been short, on strictly business missions, and some of the cities about which I have written pages I have been in but a short time. Therefore I do not attempt to compete with the seasoned traveler nor the man who has spent many years in these southern republics. On the other hand, experience with statistics has taught me that often the man who sees countries at a distance, one in comparison with another, gets a truer perspective than one who has spent his life in a given spot.

Download or read book South America written by Frank G. Carpenter and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from South America: Social, Industrial, Political; A Twenty-Five-Thousand-Mile Journey in Search of Information The present volume is the outcome of a journalistic expedition to South America in search of information for the American business man and the general reader. The journey occupied about a year of constant travel, during which the author visited the various countries, spending some time in their capitals and ports, and making many journeys into the interior. During his travels the author wrote letters for many of the leading newspapers of the United States, and at the same time prepared the notes which form the basis of this book. His aim has been to take the reader as far as possible through the scenes described, and for this reason the matter is, in the main, given as it was penned on the ground. The work is more a study of the commercial and social life of the cities, and a description of how the people live and work in the country, than a diary of travel and adventure. It describes the chief industries, notes the characteristic features of the inhabitants, discusses the resources and possibilities of the various countries, and incidentally points out the chances for the investment of American capital and the increase of American trade. These matters, however, are discussed from the standpoint of human interest and for the average reader, the aim being to give a plain, simple narrative, conveying the information about South America most desired at the present time.

Download or read book The Republics of Central and South America Their Resources Industries Sociology and Future Classic Reprint written by C. Reginald Enock and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Republics of Central, and South America, Their Resources, Industries, Sociology and Future Since the publication of the first edition of the present work, there has been comparatively little change in the general circumstances of the Latin American republics. Political and social development is Slow in such com munities, notwithstanding frequent - and often violent change of government, whilst trade activities (often erro neously held to be synonymous with economic growth) have fluctuated in sympathy with general world-conditions. In the Great War the majority of the Latin American States Showed their sympathy with the Allied cause, both realising its justice and displaying their worldly wisdom. Some, however, remained neutral, and there were not wanting certain adverse elements. The populations of these lands increase slowly, except as regards those few into which European immigration is more marked. With regard to the needful uplifting of the great poor and illiterate bulk of folk, which involves all but a relatively small pro portion of the inhabitants of the Central and South American republics, with Mexico, it cannot be said that their rulers have in general awakened to the fact that this is the main problem of government. There is, however, some improving tendency as regards education and the status of the manual worker; but, on the other hand, industrial unrest and the growth of revolutionary socialistic doctrine more than keep pace, as is inevitable, with this growth. In the field of manufacturing industry home manufacture as against importation shows some increase, but the foreign merchant may nevertheless draw some satisfaction from the increased demand by a growing wealthy native class for articles of foreign luxury. The Latin American States cannot expect to become great by reason of commercial resources, as fully discussed in this book; but so far those elements which may make for a truer civilisation in this part of the world emerge but slowly. However, the general conditions, physical and commercial, of these little-understood nations are full of interest, and especially so to the British and North American people; a fact which is borne out by the constant demand for books dealing therewith in England and the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Republic of Chile: The Growth, Resources, and Industrial Conditions of a Great Nation The present'work has been written from'the standpoint of one Who was permitted to see and study the social life and character of the people, not as an outsider, but as a friend, and l have endeavored to show no partiality in the treatment of my subject. It has been my main object to give a fair and adequate idea of the'e'xisting conditions and future outlook of the Republic of Chile. I have felt constant regret that in giving more particular attention to the modern history, I have been obliged to pass over with only a brief summary the annals of the nation's glorious past, full of records of bravery and incidents of patriotic pride, which it is impossible to read without enthusiastic admiration. The same charac teristics which have made the Chilean people strong in the defence of national rights have given them the energy and-enterprising Spirit necessary to achieve commercial and industrial supremacy, and there is no country of South America in which general progress has been more substantial and continued and foreign relations more satisfactorily maintained. Ln intellectual culture the Chileans have established their place among the more advanced nations, and their scientists, painters, and sculptors have won fame in the highest circles of Europe and America.

This book was released on 2017-12-24 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travels Through South American With the Children During this tour Mr. Carpenter has kept the children always in mind, and his story of their travels will, it is believed, bring them into a close personal relation with their brothers and sisters of South Merica. It will give them also a live working knowledge of the geography, re sources, and people of each of the republics, and of the social, industrial, and commercial relations which each holds to the United States. The plan is the same as that adopted in all the books of this series. It consists of imaginary travels made by the children with the author in the countries described. In this volume the children start out on a voyage from New York to the Isthmus of Panama, and from there move about leisurely from one South American country to another, making their observations and studies along the lines above mentioned. It is the children who do the traveling, and the book is the story of what they see and learn. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spanish in a Week In these countries changes in administration and govern mental policies brought about by various influences have aroused international interest and have been the forerunners of a new era of prosperity. They have blazed the way for rapid strides in industrial and commercial progress which must necessarily follow the Opening of that gigantic engi neering project, the Panama Canal. Commerce will now rediscover Latin America the West Indies, Mexico, and the Philippine Islands. That is not all. In the rush for transatlantic steamship records and consequently for shorter routes to Europe, some company, seeking an exclusive European trade, will awake to the fact that two hundred miles - more than twelve hours of ocean travel - might be saved by establishing a terminus at Vigo, Spain. Great political and industrial changes must be followed by alterations of corresponding moment in other phases of life. American and European civilization is about to be reborn in sister lands. Hence the importance of the medium, through which these influences must be exerted, can not be overestimated.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Power Supreme: A Novel of Church and State in South America They are instructive, too, in that they demonstrate the value of a well-regulated social order and the security of a state founded on upright homes and honoured maternity. When the better social conditions are lacking, history shows there is no security for state or individual. Of all the men who told me of their adventures, not one stands out with such prominence in my memory as a half-breed guide named Joaquin, a man of giant strength, manly vigour, and keen intelligence, who had followed wild callings and engaged in revolutions bor dering on the Caribbean Sea from Central America, down through the coast of Colombia, and in Venezuela, but the exact locations in his story are purposely disguised. He was in middle life when he served me some time ago, and the account of him here given deals with the period shortly after our own Civil War. In attempting to tell his story as nearly as possible in his own words, I have sought to imitate the poetic recitative, which in the euphonious language of the Spanish Indian is so naturally fitting and harmonious.
