By John Barrett, Director General of the Pan American Union formerly United States Minister to Panama. A handbook of convenient size which gives just the information that the average man wants to know about the Panama Canal, what it looks like, what it leads to, and what it means to the United States and the world. It tells in succinct terms the story of that mighty waterway, its construction and appearance, just how to get there, and what to see at both Panama and Colon and along the line of the Canal. It answers in compact lan- guage the majority of questions which are asked, not only by those who, unable to go to Panama, desire to know more about the Canal and what it means, but by those who, in going there wish to learn ahead what they will see or confirm afterwards what they have seen. It is also useful to colleges, schools, libraries and clubs, both for reading and general reference. It is attractively bound in cloth, contains 128 pages, printed on high-class paper with large legible type, 80 handsome half- tone engravings of photographs of the Canal and its surround- ings, together with maps, charts, diagrams, distance tables etc. (Third Edition, 1914.) $1.00 12.
