He came to look at trade and arrived in the middle of a war. Hadfield's 1868 survey of Brazil and the River Plate reports the ports, railways, coffee and cattle of a South America that British money was busy financing, while Paraguay was being destroyed upriver, and he totals both the profits and the cost.
