VOYAGES AND TRAVELS. 



TRAVELS ON THE AMAZON AND KIO NEGRO. By 

 Alfred R. Wallace, Esa. With Remarks on the Vocabu- 

 laries of Amazonian Languages, by R. G. Latham, M.D., 

 F.R.S. With Pktes and IMaps. 8vo, 18«. 



" Mr. AVallace has given us a most lively and interesting description of the 



glories of the maguificent river. Venezuela, Columbia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, 



and Brazil, six mighty States, sj)readiug over an area far more extensive than 



Europe herself, contribute their aid in forming the Hood up which he toiled. For 



; twenty-eight days consecutively he breasted the streaTU of the Amazon. . . . He 



! enters, with all the zest of a naturalist, into the history of the living things which 



■ fly, run, or ciTcp over the surface of the country. His sketches of the natives, 



\ their appearance, habits, and disposition, are quite original, and therefore instruc- 



; five and interesting." — Britannia. 



\ " Mr. Wallace's explorations on the Amazon and Rio Negro, the northern 

 ; branch of that mighty river, form an enchanting work. In the novelty of its 

 > 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 sur- 

 c mounted, by Talleyrand's favourite rule of waiting, and in the patience with 

 ', which sickness, sutlering, aud privation were submitted to, ' Travels on the 

 \ Amazon and Uio Negro ' remind us of the simplicity of the old voyagers." — Spcc- 

 'e tator. 



' WESTERN TITMALAYA AND TIBET; the Narrative of a 



: Journey througli tlic iMountains of Northern India, during tlie 



\ Years 1847-8. By Thomas Thomson, M.D. With Tinted 



\ Lithographs and a new Map by Petermann. 8vo, 15«. 



; " Few more valuable volumes of travels than this by Dr. Thomson have been 

 ? for a long time past jtublishcd. Long after the interest which its novelty will 

 'i create shall have passed away, it will be a standard book of reference on account 

 \ of the valuable facts which it contains, and of the spirit of sound observation in 

 \ which it is written." — Atheno'mn. 

 \ "The work is one of durable importance. The most general reader will not 



find Dr. Thomson's journey tedious We have in this volume matter 



which will inform every num who reads it steadily, and follows the author's 

 route with attention to the Map." — Examiner. 



" To all tliose who desire to judge scientifically of what is possible in the cul- 

 tivation of the Indo-Alpine Flora, which is now so rapidly enriching our gardens, 

 works of this description have great interest." — Gardeners' Chronicle. 



" We can most cordially recommend Dr. Thomson's work to all those who wish 

 to obtain a clear idea of this magnificent and interesting region, to wdiich our 

 late conquest in the Punjaub has brought us into such close contiguity." — 

 Guardian. 



" This is a valuable contribution to our knowledge of a remote and lately ex- 

 plored tract of the earth's stirtacc." — Aflrertiser.
