Hardcover. Condizione: Good. Retired library book with usual library markings. Solid copy. Large color folded map laid in. Illustrated with numerous photographs INTRODUCTION HIS Handbook of Mexico has been prepared to meet the great demand which is made upon the Pan American Union for comprehensive and specific data regarding Mexico, it endeavors to give those facts concerning geography, configuration, climate, agriculture, mineral and timber resources, history, public institutions, army and navy, exports and imports, railways, posts and telegraphs, finance, political divisions, cities, people, and other important features which are desired by persons intending to study Mexico, travel within its limits, make investments, or engage in export and import trade between it and other countries. While every effort is taken to secure accuracy, the Pan American Union must not be held responsible for errors which may have crept in through mistakes appearing in the original sources of information. These are believed to be very few, but some are necessarily unavoidable in a review of this extent and character. The map of Mexico, while not an official publication of either the Pan American Union or the Mexican Government, and hence not one for which they are responsible, is found practical and useful for this work. If persons seeking knowledge regarding subjects not described in this Handbook will communicate with the Pan American Union, it will endeavor to supply the desired information. Mexico is so large, and is making such progress, that it is manifestly impossible to do justice to every feature of its growth and development, but it is believed that a Handbook of this character will be welcomed by all persons interested in that remarkable country. The Director General wishes to give credit to Dr. Albert Hale and Francisco A. Godoy, of the Pan American Union staff, for their efforts in collecting and editing the data for this work. 389 pages.
