Excerpt from Official Catalogue Philippine Exhibits: Universal Exposition, St. Louis, U. S. A., 1904Compared with the areas of certain of the United States, the Philippines are larger than the states of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware, and nearly twice as large as the six New England states.Measured by the square miles contained in most of the European coun tries, the Philippines become one of the important political divisions of the globe.Notwithstanding the fact that it is nearly four hundred years since the ¿ag of Spain was first raised over Philippine territory and its metes and bounds have been traced upon the map of the world, the Archipelago is practically a new country and exploration and settlement has almost been confined to the coast line and the more important river valleys. Large islands remain unpopulated and the interior of others have never seen by white men.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
