Description
Paris, 1859. Good plus.. 102,[1]pp., plus three folding maps. Original printed wrappers. Spine perished, stitching nearly so. Light wear at edges. Light toning and dust soiling. Extensive proposal and recommendation, translated into German from the French, for a canal route across Nicaragua, one of several 19th-century Central American canal projects that never came to fruition. Félix Belly, French journalist and proponent of the French Empire under Napoleon III, was one of the foremost advocates of the Nicaragua route, which he describes and discusses in all its phases. The present work contains the Convention or Treaty between the presidents of Nicaragua and Costa Rica and Belly, relative to his concession for a canal following the San Juan River and Lake Nicaragua. It also contains an extensive analysis of the subject written by Prince Napoleon (i.e. Louis Bonaparte) in 1846, and other relevant documents to the canal plan. Three folding maps at the rear show the canal route and the global shipping routes it would enable. OCLC locates four copies of this German edition in U.S. institutions.
