"Panama and the Canal in Picture and

complete and accurate knowledge of
every subject concerning the Isthmus

Yours very truly,

This spot, where the nations meet, is of rapidly increasing interest. It will be a pleas

seen. It contains the complete story from Columbus to the present, and I have no
doubt it will be readily recognized as the most useful compilation of facts relating to
our Canal interests in Panama now published. Its wealth of illustrations as well as
its attractive presentation of related facts makes it a very valuable addition to my
library.

Mr. Abbot's work on "Panama and the Canal" is the most interesting and valuable publication relative to the
Isthmian Canal that has ever come to my notice. Its careful preparation is especially evidenced by its complete
ness of detail, involving infinite pains in research. The story is an inspiring one, and the narrative is related in a
most pleasing style. Both as a literary and historical production of great value, and as a model of typographic art,
its place in any library ought to be assured. ' WILLIAM J. STONE.
FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF INTERSTATE COM
MERCE HOUSE COMMITTEE

My Dear Mr. Abbot I shall read "Panama and the
Canal in Picture and Prose" with a great deal of
pleasure, but the pleasure will be largely enhanced
by the fact that as a member of the Committee on

vividly than anything else the scenes I visited.

FROM AN ILLINOIS CONGRESSMAN.
August 21, 1913. '
My Dear Mr. Abbot I am delighted with your book,
"Panama and the Canal in Picture and Prose." It is the
most valuable publication on Panama yet issued. You
have thoroughly popularized the entire matter. I think I
have read everything published on the subject of Panama
and the Canal, and in my study of the subjects connected
with the Canal I have spent many days on the Isthmus of
Panama. Your book appears at a most opportune time. I
. know of no information of real value on the subject which
is not contained in your book. You have rendered a great
public service. The book is written in a charming man
ner, and you present the intensely interesting romantic
history' connected with that part of the world as no one
else has yet been able to do. I know of no other book of
. travel appearing in recent years so interesting and valu
able as this. Very truly yours,
HENRY T. RAINEY.
FROM AN INDIANA CONGRESSMAN
August 21, 1913.
My Dear Willis With a great deal of pleas
ure .1 have read your new book on Panama.
Its artistic finish and fascinating literary style
combine to make this story of Panama the
most attractive and comprehensive. I heartily
congratulate "you on this picture and prose
history of the Isthmus, for the eyes of the
world are now centered on this our greatest
national endeavor, and as everybody interest
ed wants comprehensive information on this
world-famous enterprise, you have surely given
to students and the reading public generally a
new beacon light of history with a fascinating
descriptive thrill in every page. Your friend,
HENRY A. BARNHART.
FROM A NEW YORK CONGRESSMAN.
August 20, 1913.
My Dear Mr. Abbot I desire to congratulate you most
heartily on your latest book, "Panama and the Canal in
Picture and Prose."
A book of this kind is usually regarded as a picture
book, and surely this one is most beautifully illustrated.
But your book could be regarded as a picture book if one
were to regard it from its letter press alone. I found it
packed with information about the world's most wonder
ful canal, about the people there and the tropical condi
tions and about the ruins and the history that tell' of
Aztec and Toltec days, and the later amazing adventures
of Balboa, Cortez and their handful of Spanish companions,
who mixed their private business of buccaneering with
an authorized business of exploring. I think the style in
which you have written is .most clear and flowing, and
altogether this book is by far the best presentment of this
much-talked-of subject that it has been my good fortune
to find. Sincerely yours, .HENRY GEORGE, JR.
FROM A LOUISIANA SENATOR.
August 25, 1913. .
. Dear Mr. Abbot "Panama and the Canal in
Picture and Prose" is one of the most thorough
works of its kind that has come before me,
and on its face it shows the result of untiring
efforts on your part. It appears to be remark
ably well arranged, and I am sure it contains
an exhaustive fund of information.
Very sincerely, JOS. E. RANSDELL.

My Dear Mr. Abbot My wife and I spent a
most delightful Sunday in going over your mag
nificent book on Panama. , We had visited
