Excerpt from The Argentine Republic: General Descriptive Data Prepared in June, 1909 The Argentine Republic, the third largest of the American Repub lies, is situated between latitude 22 and 56 south and longitude west of Greenwich 53 and being bounded by the Republics of Chile, Bolivia, Paraguay, Brazil, Uruguay, and the Atlantic Ocean. It has an area of square miles, equal to about one - half the total area of the United States of America, and a population of or per square mile, as against in the United States of America. Stretching over 34 of latitude, the country presents a variety of climate and products, ranging from tropical in the north to arctic in the south, but the larger part of its territory lies within the temperate zone. The broad, fertile plains extending from the At lantic to the foot of the Andes, occasionally broken by a series of low mountains, afford excellent pasturage for thousands of cattle, and nearly all cereals, especially wheat, corn, and oats, are successfully cultivated. Other industrial articles produced in export quantities are hides and skins of all kinds, and the valuable quebracho wood and its extract. Sugar, cotton, tobacco, and grapes are largely grown, but mostly for home consumption. The mountains contain rich deposits of silver, copper, and gold, which are as yet exploited to a limited extent only.

Originally published in 1931, this book was written in 'an attempt to interpret to English readers the history of the Argentine people, and in some degree to interpret the character of that people as illustrated by their history'. A second Spanish edition was also published, reflecting a desire 'to make known to Argentine readers the sympathetic interest with which the astonishing advance of their nation from its small beginnings' was viewed in England. The text thus reflects the diplomatic climate of the time in which it was written, as well as providing a comprehensive historical account. Illustrative figures and appendices are included. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Argentinian history.

Excerpt from Argentina and the Argentines: Notes and Impressions of a Five Years' Sojourn in the Argentine Republic, 1885-90 This volume pretends to be nothing more than its subsidiary title indicates; namely, a series of "Notes" or sketches of Argentina and the Argentines, made during a sojourn of nearly six years in Buenos Ayres. Of the imperfections and shortcomings of the "Notes," no one could be more sensible than the writer of them. Begun hardly in earnest; without connection, continuity, or definite plan; they may be compared rather to instantaneous photographs taken at haphazard, and which depict alike the natural and the ludicrous, than to elaborate and carefully studied pictures. In addition to other inconveniences, the writer had the misfortune to lose, during the troublous times following the Revolution of July, 1890, a large collection of shorthand notes relating chiefly to the events of the years 1886-87 - a loss which it was impossible to repair, and which has compelled him to trust to his memory for some of the particulars related in the book; and although pains have been taken to verify, as far as was possible at this distance of time and place, the particulars referred to, it is not improbable that some inaccuracies of detail may have crept into the descriptions, and equally possible that the "Notes" which have been perforce omitted might have been found more interesting and instructive than those which are now given.
