C. D. Mackellar

“ Newcastle Chronicle.―"A very shrewd observation of men and things ... gives us some racy accounts, all characterised by a keen insight into more than superficial matters ... As an impression of South America from a cultured man of the world the book is calculated to convey a much clearer idea of a people and places than a shelf-full of dry as dust reports."
Western Press.―"A cheery optimism pervades the whole story of his travels ... a very readable and interesting volume. ... A very clear idea of the people and their characteristics. ... ”

“ A most entertaining book, and be it said at once that, although a Scotchman, the author has a delightful sense of the humorous ... is a staunch patriot, and always has the well-being of Britain at heart. ”
