NARRATIVE OF TEE EXPEDITION AND ILLUSTRATIONS, 

 BY J. E. CABOT. 



THIS work, which has been long delayed on account of the unexpected amount of 

 material, is one of the most valuable scientific works that has appeared in this country. 



Embodying the researches of our best scientific men, relating to a hitherto cornpar- 

 a'ively unknown region, it will be found to contain a great amount of new scientific 

 information. 



The illustrations, seventeen in number, are in the finest style of the art, by Sonrel ; 

 embracing Lake and Landscape scenery, Fishes, and other objects of Natural History, 

 with an outline map of Lake Superior. 



NOTICES OF THE PRESS. 



" The character of these scientific labors of Prof. Agassiz, is eminently philosophic 

 and suggestive ; and the grand idea of the work is the demand for the recognition in 

 nature of the agency of a personal God as a scientific fact, above and beyond all the 

 conditions of physical cause. : ' Literary World. 



" The volume is one of the monuments which Prof. Agassiz has erected, in proof of 

 his unwearied enterprise and industry, and his large and various learning." Boston 

 Post. 



" A work rich and varied in matter pregnant of lofty suggestions and comprehensive 

 truths. We commend it to all intelligent readers, whether scientific or otherwise, and 

 whether lay or clerical." Christian Register. 



" This is a very beautiful volume, sent out in the very best style of the trade. Its 

 subject, to the lover of natural history, is intensely interesting. The illustrations are 

 numerous and admirable." Christian Times. 



" With these extracts, we reluctantly conclude our imperfect notice of this admirable 

 work by Prof. Agassiz. If what we have written will induce others to read the whole 

 book thoughtfully, we shall be content to have gone through our labor." Cli. Rfjltctor. 



"The results of this remarkable expedition have been carefully written out by differ- 

 ent members of the party. It is a work full of inti vc -: ami in-rnirriou to all who have 

 given even the slightest attention to the Natural History of the Unri-d Status, and will 

 undoubtedly be regarded as one of the most important contributions which this coun- 

 try has ever made to that most fascinating science." Providence JournaL
