The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 78

[introduction]

Take a map of the world and look at the Soutn Pacific, peppered over with islets and archipelagoes in bewildering profusion. In passing, glance at the relation which the Panama Canal bears toward us, and endeavour to forecast what effect the opening of that canal will have upon Australasia—and especially the ports of Auckland and Sydney. Some of the maps indicate in colour the nations which are in possession of the various groups, and one who does not happen to be so familiar with island geography as he ought to by is likely to he amazed to find Germany and France so largely represented.
