About This Book

This work records a return journey through Brazil and the Platine region, combining travel reportage with economic and institutional analysis. It describes ports and cities, the Amazon and river navigation, the effects of war and epidemics, and the expansion of railways, steam navigation, telegraphy, and banking. It assesses commerce, currency, public finances, emigration opportunities, and religious and social institutions, compares present conditions with an earlier visit, and highlights infrastructure projects and investment prospects while offering practical observations for prospective emigrants and investors.
