| Summary | "Le Tour du Monde; Nouvelles Hébrides" by Various is a collection of travel articles written in the early 20th century. This work compiles a diverse range of reports about different geographical regions, with a specific focus on the New Hebrides, exploring aspects such as exploration, colonization, and the dynamics between various nations during this time period. The opening of this collection introduces the concept of the New Hebrides, emphasizing their ambiguous political status due to their condominium arrangement between France and England. It discusses the historical context of French claims to the islands and the influence of local figures like M. Higginson, who endeavored to secure French interests in the region. The segment delineates the islands' geographical features, environmental attributes, and societal conditions, setting the stage for further exploration of the ongoing colonial undertakings and tensions between competing national interests in the archipelago.
