ΤΟ MESSRS. LEWIS H. & EDWARD HASLEWOOD, IN GRATITUDE FOR THE EARLY ASSISTANCE RENDERED BY THEM TO HIS EFFORTS IN THE PROSECUTION OF THE PROJECT OF A SHIP CANAL FROM THE ATLANTIC TO THE PACIFIC OCEAN, ACROSS THE ISTHMUS OF DARIEN, THESE PAGES ARE RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED, BY EDWARD CULLEN, M.D., M.R.C.S.E. APPENDIX. Page. Vocabulary of the Darien Language Engineer's Report Prospectus of the Atlantic and Pacific Junction Company The "Times" and Sir Charles Fox PREFACE. THE interest excited by a Project which not only involves the mighty advantages to commerce, by which Columbus was attracted, on his first voyage, to shorten the road to the East; but also has for its ultimate scope and tendency the enduring PEACE TO ALL NATIONS, by making it a necessity as well as an advantage to avoid disputes, induces me to publish another Edition of "The Isthmus of Darien Ship-Canal.' In doing so, I have made no change in the matter; but have, by an alteration in the arrangement of the text, endeavoured to place the facts in a more clear and lucid order before the reader. b |
