Minor wear to extremities and a few repairs to a few leaves otherwise fine and clean. Pp. 761-1504. <br/><br/><em>Original printing of The Economist - the most important and influential economic journal worldwide - from the year 1879. The initial planning of the Panama Canal began in 1879. The enormous endeavor of digging the Canal was reflected in The Economist: "The canal proposed by M. de Lesseps and intended to pierce the Isthmus of Panama is in many respects a bolder enterprise even than the Suez Canal. The engineering difficulties are far greater the climate is a much more serious obstacle to labour and especially to that of Europeans and finally the possibility of a rival plan being carried out is much greater." </em> hardcover

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.

1900225611900. Latin America Panama City and the Canal Zone at the beginning of the 20th century photo archive featuring a range of architectural infrastructural and cultural subjects reflecting the western urbanization and colonial history of the area. Archive of 15 sepia toned real photo postcards. Each 3.5" x 5.5". The archive documents the transformation of Panama during the era of U.S. construction and administration of the Panama Canal and the subsequent urban growth of the capital. Many are captioned at the bottom in the negative.<br /> <br /> The collection includes multiple views of the Panama Canal itself such as "Opening Gates Pedro Miguel Locks" "Miraflores Locks Panama Canal" and a wide-angle vista from the Pacific side capturing the engineering marvel that reshaped global commerce. Urban scenes emphasize both civic life and colonial remnants: the "American Cabaret" façade crowded with pedestrians the Panama City railway station with carriages at its entrance and the Cathedral Plaza shown both from street-level and aerial perspectives. Religious heritage appears in the richly photographed "Golden Altar of San José" a baroque altar famously saved from pirate depredation by being painted black. Other views include the Old Spanish Fort tower ruins panoramic shots of the city grid ships moored in Balboa harbor and even the bullfighting ring situating Panama as both modernizing and deeply layered with colonial past. Minor handling wear and faint edge toning to some images remain crisp and clean. Overall very good condition. This archive offers a rich visual record of Panama at a pivotal historical moment combining imagery of U.S. imperial engineering with local cultural life and colonial heritage making it a valuable resource for scholars of Latin American history U.S.-Panama relations and the history of global infrastructure. unknown
