Like his East African trip the South
American journey is undertaken with
many aspects aside from pleasure. The

penetrating into the interior Of Brazil
with a party Of naturalists under the

in South America will he devoted to
addresses upon American democracy,
which he has been invited to deliver
before universities and other bodies.
