"Mr. Van Dyke's book is a general survey, and is valuable first of all to the reader
who wants to get a broad view of present conditions. In the second place, the reader
who wants to know about some one country in particular will find that country described
in as much detail as is possible as to scenery, cities, people, social life, industry, commercial
and economic aspects. In the third place, the business man with an eye to
South American trade should find this a volume to his taste, for in it Mr. Van Dyke
lays stress on the commercial relations between the two Americas." Outlook, 1913,
