1822. June 21.
Junctiana Proposal

S.2. Outline of the proposed agreement between the for the
accomplishment of it. proposed company and the local authoriities.

I. Situation and dimensions of the proposed spot.

Taking the conception of the spot from the
view given of it in the Maps to Pinkerton's Atlas,
the greatest tract of territory, that would be requisite to
be allotted to the purpose, would be - that which occupied
in length somewhat less than four degrees of longitude,
geographical miles say 220, namely from the mouth
of St John's River in the Atlantic to the mouth of the
Leon River in the Pacific.: and in not so many as
breadths upon an average, a little more than a degree of
latitude-Geographical miles, say a little more than 60.
Upon the face of the map, the natural boundaries, are
to the north, a chain of lofty mountains: to the South,
another such chain, with the exception of the "dead level"
above spoken of, to the East, the Atlantic: to the West, in
part of the chain of mountains, having on the other side
of it the territory of Costa Rica: on othe part, the Pacific.

In This tract of country constitutesmay be seen the maximum
of what it can be necessary should be ceded to the proposed
company: whether, from this quantity, consistently
with the accomplishment and perpetual maintenance
of the junction for mutual and universal benefit, any
and what defalcation can be made, will scarcely be
ascertainable, untill the necessary surveys have been
made and reported.

Whatever may be the site and amount of it, call
it for the present Junctiania.

II. Proposed source of benefit to the proposed Company in a
pecuniary shape.

1. The price of transit, whatsoever shape or shapes
may be given to it: this price being to be received from
the Masters of all vessels making use of the communication.

2. The absolute property in the land (land covered with
water included) of all this territory, or, of what lesser
portion of it shall, on report of surveyors as above, be
deemed necessary and sufficient: thence, the right of
selling it in parcels, and letting it out upon leases, for
building and other purposes.
