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.

  2. Added opening quotes (“) to each paragraph in the block quotation on p. 53 consistent with the practice used elsewhere in this book.
  3. Changed gods to goods on p. 192.
  4. Changed coveying to conveying on p. 205.
  5. Parana is used more frequently than Paraná. Also depôt more frequently than depot. In both cases, neither form was changed to the other due to both being frequently used.
