Produktbeschreibung
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 22º or 1320 miles of longitude, stretching from the mouth of Oronoco, to the western extremity of the Isthmus of Panama; and of 18º or 1080 miles of latitude, extending 111º to the north, and 6¿ 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.
