Excerpt from Catalogue of the Exhibits of British Guiana: With Notes British Guiana lies on the extreme northeastern coast of South America, between one and nine degrees of latitude. As this British colony in South America is, by very many people, confounded with possessions in Africa and the East Indies (guinea and New Guinea), it is perhaps advisable to note that the name Guiana (pronounced Gue-a-na) is broadly applicable to the great northeastern extent of South America. British Guiana adjoins on the northwest the Republic of Venezuela (spanish Guiana); on the south, the Republic of Brazil (portuguese Guiana); and on the east, Dutch Guiana. In size it is about equal to that of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
