|Seitenumbruch|
—Humboldt, the celebrated traveller, has sent the fol-lowing letter to Dr Cullen of
London, on the project ofthe Isthmus of Darien Ship
Canal:—‘Dr. Cullen cannotdoubt the high importance that I
would attach to themerit of his courageous and useful investigations in
theeastern part of the Isthmus of Panama; knowing my posi-tion and my
antediluvian age, he will receive with indul-gence, even so late, the
expression of my lively gratitude.After having laboured in vain, during
half a century,to prove the possibility of an oceanic canal, and to
pointout the Gulf of San Miguel and Cupica as the pointsmost worthy of
attention; after having regretted, almostwith bitterness, in the last
edition of my Aspects of Na-ture, that the employment of the means which
the pre-sent state of our knowledge affords for obtaining
precisemeasurements has been so long delayed; I ought, morethan any
one else, to be satisfied to see, at last, my hopesfor so noble an
enterprise revived. By your publications,sir, and by that of Mr Gisborne,
will be originated thegreat work of changing an important part of the
com-merce of nations, and of rendering more accessible therich
countries of Eastern Asia and the Indian Archipelago.The undertaking is by
no means above the intellectualand material power which civilised nations
have attainedto. The work should be one to last for ever; it shouldnot
commence with a canal with locks, like the magnifi-cent Caledonian Canal;
it must be a really oceanic canal,without locks; a free passage from sea to
sea, acrosswhich the speed of the navigation will be modified, butnot
interrupted by the difference in height and non-coin-cidence of the
tides.’
