Excerpt from Brazil and the River Plate, 1870-76 The publication of another volume relating to "Brazil and the River Plate" may appear almost superfluous, after the previous one issued in 1868, with only two years' interval occurring between that and the date of the present narrative, which is indeed more or less supplementary. Events, however, in those countries follow each other in such rapid succession as to yield every year a record of public interest.
