OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 



" We must congratulate Mr. Jukes on tlie value of his publication. Scientific 

 without being abstruse, and picturesque without being extravagant, he has made liis 

 volumes astril<ing and graceful addition to our knowledge of countries highly interest- 

 ing in themselves, and assuming hourly importance in the eyes of tlie people of 

 Engl md." — Blackicood's Magazine. 



" To transcribe the title-page of this book is sufficient to attract public curiosity 

 towards it — to peruse tlie book itself is to be rewarded with the knowledge of a mass 

 of information in wliich complete confidence can be reposed, for, from the first I^age 

 to the hist, it is apparent that the main object with Mr. Jukes is to tell all that he 

 knows and believes to be true, ratlier than to win favour from Ids readers by his 

 manner of telling it. Tliere is not a pretty phrase, an exaggeration, nor an invention 

 in the two volumes of Mr. Jukes ; all is plain unadorned fact, and because it is so, is 

 deserving, not merely of perusal, but of study. Such are the recommendations of Mr. 

 Jukes' pages to the public, and all who desire to see truth united with novelty will 

 peruse them." — Morning Herald- 



Lately published in 8vo. pp. 96, with 2 Coloured Maps, price 65.
