Excerpt from The Great Silver River: Notes of a Residence in Buenos Ayres in 1880 and 1881 That a highly prosperous future is assured to the Argentines can no longer be doubted. The pacified and consolidated Republic is happily launched on its career among the nations, and of its well-wishers none can be more sincere than the writer of this slender record of a too brief, but in every way pleasant and interesting, sojourn on its hospitable soil.
