Excerpt from The Countries of the King's Award IN response to the request of certain friends I have endeavoured to write a book on the subject of the recent Arbitration between the two South American States of Chile and Argentina, whose long-standing boundary dispute in Patagonia was finally settled by the Award of King Edward VII. In November 1902. I am very well aware that impressions produced on a traveller's mind by a comparatively rapid tour through a large extent of country are necessarily immature and may possibly be erroneous; but I can at least claim the advantage of the exceptionally good position for observation afforded me as a member of the Tribunal of Arbitration, an advantage which was maintained by the cordial welcome and invariable assistance extended to me by the Presi dents of the two Republics, and by all members of Argentine and Chilean oflicial Society. It has at least been a great pleasure to me to recall my personal experiences, and I can but offer this record of my impressions of Southern South America, and of its people, in witness to the deep interest which I shall ever take in their future development amongst the nations of the world.
