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
