Seldom has there been greater

Latin America than there is to-
day. But the general impression
of the countries to the south is
hazy, jumbled. There Is no genu-
inc understanding even of His
panic history. although II has
been so closely tied up with

centuries.
To sit down with F. A. Kirk

great deal of this deficiency. Mr..
Kirkpatrick. long one of the abb
est students of American
life, surveys the whole dramatic
story from 1892 to 1889 IN one
compact volume.
Mr. kirkpatrick divides his
book into two major parts one
covering the whole of Latin
American history and a second
treating the life and history of
each republic separately. He
concludes with an examination
of the Latin American picture in
the light of present-day affairs.
Thus it is a significant book
that awaits you, beginning with
the explorations of Magellan, the
conquest of Cortez, Pizarro, NOV
