Excerpt from Observations on the Isthmus of Panama: As Comprised in a Paper Read at a Meeting of the Royal Geographical Society, on the Evening of the 12th February, 1844; Illustrated With a Map of the Various Routes Which Have Been Proposed for Connecting the Two Oceans
At the desire of the President of the Royal Geographical Society, I have endeavoured to embody a few observations on the Isthmus of Panama. From the extreme scantiness of information collected respecting this interesting section of country, and the increased desire manifested by the public to know more of it, the remarks of even a common observer, unaided by the advantages of scientific knowledge may perhaps prove not unacceptable. Having spent more than twenty years of my life on the shores of the Pacific, my thoughts were naturally turned to the Isthmus of Panama as presenting a much easier channel of communication between the two oceans than that by Cape Horn.
