The article presents information about the book "Brazil and the Brazillians, Portrayed in Historical and Descriptive Sketches," by James C. Fletcher and D.P. Kidder. Brazil on the map is an area larger than that of the U.S. In point of settlement, it is a strip of country averaging not a hundred miles in depth from the shore to the fastnesses of the interior. No roads are practicable through the interior, and the rivers have not yet been used as regular highways of communication with the capital and the seaboard. The expedition to the rear directed by the Brazilians against Paraguay, on which the decision of the war is supposed to hang, has been more than a year, in emerging from the jungle and approaching the scene of conflict.
