CHIEF POLITICAL DIVISIONS OP SOUTH AMERICA. 

 IN the following table the reader mil find the principal political 

 divisions of the continent of Sooth America. In accordance 

 with tho plan adopted for exhibiting in a tabular form U<- 

 principal state* of the four great dirisions of the land on the 

 world's surface that have already been noticed, the table shown 

 the capital or most important city in each division, and the 

 river, etc., on which it stands ; the approximate area in <* 

 square miles, the approximate number of inhabitants, and the 

 number of persons resident on an average on each xquare mile. 

 as far as these particulars can be ascertained without any 

 regular survey of each country and any systematic census of the 

 population. 



Of the South American States, Brazil ia by far the greatest, 

 occupying very nearly one-half of the area of the entire con- 

 tinent. The remaining states lie grouped around it on tho north, 

 west, and south, in the form of a crescent ; every ote of them, 

 except Chili and Patagonia, having some part of its frontier 

 contiguous to the frontier of Brazil. But although Brazil is the 

 largest state in superficial area, it is by no means peopled in 

 proportion to its extent. Taking the population per square 

 mile as a test of the prosperity and productive power of a 

 country, we find that Chili is far in advance of the remaining 

 states. Until a few years ago Paraguay was also thickly popu- 

 lated for its extent, having some 1,400,000 inhabitants. In this 

 fact we find the reason why Paraguay was able to contend for 

 BO long a time with the forces of Brazil, aided now and then by 

 a contingent from the Argentine Confederation, for the former 

 had her population concentrated in a comparatively small ex- 

 tent of territory, and therefore more available for the purpose? 

 of defensive warfare; while Brazil, with a long sea-board ic> 

 defend, and a scattered population, found it a difficult matter 

 to draw together and keep up a sufficient force to crush even a 

 power so apparently insignificant as Paraguay. The war, how- 

 ever, caused Paraguay to suffer severely, and its population has 

 greatly decreased during the hist quarter of a century. 



Brazil is divided into twenty-one provinces, of which only 

 those on the sea-coast are of any commercial importance at 

 present. The interior is inhabited by wandering tribes of 

 Indians. It produces gold dust and diamonds in some parts ; 

 but among its mineral treasures are also large coal-fields and 

 beds of limestone lately discovered by Captain Richard F. 

 Burton, the African explorer, while on a journey of discovery 

 through the country. Besides these, abundance of silver, iron, 

 copper, salt, and precious stones exists in various parts ; while 

 among its vegetable productions, which include most of the 

 fruits and vegetables raised in both tropical and temperate 

 climes, may be named the useful medicines, ipecacuanha and 

 quinine, and the Brazil- wood, or brato, a valuable dyewood, from 

 which the country was named by its Portuguese discoverer*.
