About This Item
1879. London, The Economist Office, 1879. Small folio. Bound in comtemporary half cloth. Entire volume 37, July - December, 1879, of The Economist. Minor wear to extremities and a few repairs to a few leaves, otherwise fine and clean. Pp. 761-1504. Original printing of The Economist - the most important and influential economic journal worldwide - from the year 1879. The initial planning of the Panama Canal began in 1879. The enormous endeavor of digging the Canal was reflected in The Economist: "The canal proposed by M. de Lesseps, and intended to pierce the Isthmus of Panama is in many respects a bolder enterprise even than the Suez Canal. The engineering difficulties are far greater, the climate is a much more serious obstacle to labour, and especially to that of Europeans, and, finally, the possibility of a rival plan being carried out is much greater."
