Translated (from the French), and with a historical chapter, by Bernard Miall; and a supplementary chapter by Dawson A. Vindin. A general survey of Brazil at the turn of the century with chapters on "colonisation of Parana and Rio Grande do Sul, the Negro populations, Ceara, mineral resources, trade and commerce." Quoting the text, p. 313: "The negro population of Brazil has not been numbered. We do not know its precise figures not its numerical relation to the other populations. One thing at least is certain---that in several states it is more numerous than the white population. 'Coloured folks' of all degrees are still more numerous in comparison with the pure negroes. The early Portuguese immigration was almost exclusively masculine; from the union of the Portuguese with dark-skinned women sprang a line of half-breeds which has since increased. Brazil abolished slavery only twenty years ago. The slave-trade was only completely suppressed about 1860. After that year various measures announced and prepared for abolition. Size: Lg. 8vo. 0.0.
