nt Brazil "has been
opened up" and developed, and by whom, and to outline some of the work
that remains to be done. Miss Elliott first of all discusses present
social conditions in Brazil, explaining who the Brazilian is, what
political and social events have moulded him and what he has done to
develop his territory; a territory 300,000 square miles larger than
that of the United States. Later sections deal with finance, the
monetary conditions of the country, the problem of exchange, and the
source of income. Still others take up various means of transit, the
railroads, the coast-wise and the ocean service, rivers and roads.
Industries are treated in considerable detail--cattle, cotton raising,
weaving, coffee growing and the rubber trade. An unusual feature comes
under the heading of "The World's Horticultural and Medicinal Debt to
Brazil" in which the reader is made to realize something of the immense
forestal treasure house comprised in the huge, wild, half explored
regions of north Brazil.
