Ferdinand Marie, Vicomte de Lesseps (1805-1894) was the French developer of the Suez Canal, which joined the Mediterranean and Red Seas in 1869, and substantially sailing distances and times between the West and the East. He attempted to repeat this success with an effort to build a sea-level Panama Canal during the 1880s, but the project was devastated by epidemics of malaria and yellow fever in the area, and the projected de Lesseps canal was left uncompleted and eventually partially superseded by a non-sea-level canal with locks, built by the United States and completed in 1914. **PRICE JUST REDUCED!

First edition. 23 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. This related to the question of the mission to the Panama Congress. Simon Bolivar had called the Congress and in 1825 the United States had been included among the invitees. President Adams believed that the U. S. should be represented but it was later revealed that there was some plan among the Latin America republics to unite against Spain or other unfriendly nations and to establish an assembly with full war powers. Adams decided to send two delegates and to limit the U. S. participation. There was serious debates in Congress and in the end the U. S. was not represented but due to the death of one of the Representatives Ricahard C. Anderson and John Sergeant was only as far as Mexico City when the Congress adjourned. Sabin 34755.

One man is sort of a horticulturist and agriculturist from one of the western states just came here to work on the docks & terminals and he is very much interested in plant and jungle life here. I have told him about none of thethat I have found along rivers and in swamps and he is so much interested in finding some himself but they are a little hard to find that is you usually find them when you least expect to run into themthere is such little duty into Panama really if anywe had a shake up in organization and fortunately I came out with the survivors and have a real nice job.
