Abstract
THE present is a very appropriate time for the publication of this book. Public attention is occupied with Imperialism and colonial development, so that a trustworthy statement of the resources and conditions of life in the countries of the temperate zone, where there is still an opening for the energies of English-speaking people, should be of real service. The colonies and countries described from this point of view are Canada, Newfoundland, United States, Mexico, Temperate Brazil, and Chile, Argentina, the Falkland Islands, Australia and Tasmania, New Zealand and South Africa. To intending settlers and capitalists desiring to know the prospects of success in these countries the book will be invaluable; for it brings together in a convenient and concise form all the essential particulars available in official reports and other authoritative works.
