Inquiry Into The Opinions Of The Commercial Classes Of Great Britain: On The Suez Ship Canal is a book written by Ferdinand de Lesseps in 1857. The book is an investigation into the opinions of the commercial classes in Great Britain regarding the proposed construction of the Suez Ship Canal. De Lesseps, a French diplomat and engineer, was the driving force behind the construction of the Suez Canal, which connected the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, allowing ships to travel directly between Europe and Asia without having to navigate around Africa. In this book, he seeks to address the concerns and objections raised by British merchants and investors about the feasibility and profitability of the canal.The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides a detailed history of the canal's conception and the efforts to secure funding and support for its construction. The second part consists of a series of interviews with British merchants and investors who were skeptical about the project. De Lesseps uses these interviews to address their concerns and provide evidence for the potential benefits of the canal.Overall, Inquiry Into The Opinions Of The Commercial Classes Of Great Britain: On The Suez Ship Canal is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the debates and controversies surrounding the construction of one of the most significant engineering feats of the 19th century.This scarce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.
