As another example, the entry for Venezuela presents a British view of an 1899 event: ...the boundary line between the British colony and Venezuela was for long matter of keen dispute, but by the intervention of the United States at the request of the latter a treaty between the contending parties was concluded, referring the matter to a court of arbitration, which met at Paris in 1895, and settled it in 1899, in vindication, happily, of the British claim, the Schomburgk line being now declared to be the true line, and the gold-fields ours.In 2004, Project Gutenberg published a version of the 1907 edition, which is now in the public domain.
