South America
regionReal-world: South America
The continent from which a fanatic wrote a rambling letter to a newspaper editor, deducing a dire future from visions he had seen.
South America appears among Professor Angell's press cuttings from the period of the 1925 disturbances: a rambling letter to the editor of a paper there, in which a fanatic deduced a dire future from visions he had seen.
The item stands in the record beside the other scattered cases of the same period — suicides, unrest, and mass excitements gathered from around the world.
