] loyal 8vo, 18s. 



" Mr. Wallace has given us a most lively and interesting picture of the glories of the 

 magnificent river. Venezuela. Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil, six mighty 

 States, spreading over an area far more extensive than Europe herself, contribute their 

 aid in forming the flood up which he toiled. For twenty-eight days consecutively he 

 breasted the stream of the Amazon. . . . He enters, with all the zest of a naturalist, 

 into the history of the living things which fly, run, or creep over the surface of the 

 country. His sketches of the natives, their appearance, habits, and disposition, are quite 

 original." BRITANNIA. 



" In the novelty of the scenery and manners ; in the truthful, albeit somewhat literal, 

 picture of what the traveller saw and felt : in the quiet earnestness by which obstacles 

 were surmounted by Talleyrand's favourite rule of waiting ; and in the patience with 

 which sickness, suffering, and privations were submitted to. ' Travels on the Amazon 

 ami Rio Negro' remind us of the simplicity of the old voyagers." SPECTATOR.

 Dr. Seemann, F.L.S. 



Circumnavigation of the Globe: 



y e/

 2 vols. 8vo, price 21s. 



" With extensive knowledge in geography and its cognate sciences, Mr. Seemann pos- 

 sesses a close and sober but vivid style, which expresses his ideas not only with clearness, 

 but animation." SPECTATOR. 



" Mr. Seemann is always a lively and agreeable companion, and has the merit of di- 

 recting the atten*on of the general reader to applied natural history rather than to 

 questions only interesting to the student of pure science." GARDENERS' CHRONICLE.
