July 20, 1865 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on the Suez Canal. One believes it will appear that Suez and Panama, narrow isthmuses, which a little more or less of geological dynamics might have left in repose beneath the Silurian waters, have been up-heaved in accordance with a great design, first to delay, then to excite and invigorate and finally to reward with victory the enterprise of science, capital and labor. Within the last ten years, and especially within the last few months, public attention has been directed to the Isthmus of Suez by an enthusiastic and indefatigable Frenchman, who subscribes himself with a charming brevity and simplicity "Minister Plenipotentiary."
