Spanish America: Its Romance, Reality and Future

The aim of this work is twofold – to afford a broad survey of the Latin American countries, with the color and interest which so strongly characterizes this half of the New World; and to offer in some degree a detailed study of the region as concerns what the author has ventured to term a «science of humanity» or science of corporate life, whose main factors are topographical, occupational or industrial, and ethical or ethical-economic.
