Item # 691719
November 30, 1852
DAILY NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, Washington, D.C., Nov. 30, 1852 Page 3 has over half a column taken up with an interesting article: "On The Amazonian Basin" which is a quite early, descriptive article on this region of the world.
One bit notes: "...The whole of this immense tract of land, from the Atlantic to the foot of the Andes, for 3,000 miles, with few exceptions, is covered with a primeval forest of most valuable woods; a wide field will be open for the exploration of mineral wealth..." and more.
Also on page 3: "Land Claims In California" and: "Produce of the California Mines" the latter beginning: "The production of our gold mines, instead of falling off, as croakers long ago predicted, seems to be steadily on the increase..." with more.
Four pages, slightly irregular at the blank spine, nice condition.
