Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Argentine Republic: Its Physical Features, History, Fauna, Flora, Geology, Literature Commerce The object of the present volume is to furnish the reader with information which cannot be obtained, except partially, either from the numerous books of travel dealing with the Argentine or from the various Handbooks, Year Books, or other volumes of a commercial nature issued with the object of showing the prospects of the country to the business man. The information contained in the following pages is scattered through numbers of volumes, few of which are even partially in English and many of which are inaccesible to the general reader. A residence of more than twenty years in Argentina has satisfied me that, although a "bird of passage" may write a critical and highly coloured account of the country after a sojourn of a few days, or even hours - so great is the perspicacity of the globe trotter - such a feat is beyond the powers of one who really knows the land and sympathises with the hopes and aspirations of its sons. The first personal pronoun is therefore only slightly employed, the volume being a collection of facts and not a mere record of feelings or opinions, as such are bound to vary with the personal equation and experiences of a writer. I have to thank Mr. R. Rosauer, of 571 Rivadavia, Buenos Aires, for furnishing me with most of the illustrations which appear in the volume.
