A broad view of his achievements inspires a degree of admiration for this magnetic character only comparable with the intense interest felt throughout civilized countries regarding the success of his globe-remodeling projects and their important bearing on the interests of commerce and navigation. More minutely scrutinized, however passing, as it were, from the poetic to the prosaic side of this talented Frenchman sschemes we meet with some disappointment regarding the execution in detail and probable fate of his last great engineering and speculative undertaking at Panama.
