An Exposition Of The Errors And Fallacies In Rear-Admiral Ammen's Pamphlet Entitled, The Certainty Of The Nicaragua Canal Contrasted With The Uncertainties Of The Eads Ship Railway (1886)

""An Exposition Of The Errors And Fallacies In Rear-Admiral Ammen�������s Pamphlet: Entitled, The Certainty Of The Nicaragua Canal Contrasted With The Uncertainties Of The Eads Ship Railway"" is a book written by Elmer Lawrence Corthell in 1886. The book critiques the arguments made by Rear-Admiral Ammen in his pamphlet about the construction of a canal in Nicaragua versus a ship railway proposed by James B. Eads. Corthell argues that Ammen's claims about the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of the Nicaragua Canal are flawed and that the Eads Ship Railway is a more viable option. The book provides a detailed analysis of the technical and economic aspects of both proposals and offers a comprehensive rebuttal of Ammen's arguments. Overall, ""An Exposition Of The Errors And Fallacies In Rear-Admiral Ammen�������s Pamphlet"" is a significant contribution to the debate on the best way to connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
