BY EDWARD JOHN EYRE, 



RESIDENT MAGISTRATE, MUBRAY RIVER, NOW LIEUT.-GOVERNOR OF WEW EEALAM). 



*^* The Foimderh Medal of the Hoyal Geographical Society 7vas arvarded 

 to Mr. Eyre for the discovery of' Lake Torrens, and explorations of far greater 

 extent in Australia than any other traveller, a large portion never having been 

 previously traversed by civilized man.. 



*' His narrative of what he did and overcame, is more like the stirring stories of 

 Park and Bruce than the tame and bookish diffuseness of modern travellers. 

 Nothing short of ;i perusal of the volumes can enable our leaders to appreciate tliis 

 book." — Spectator. 



" We might easily extract much more from Mr. Eyre's volumes of interest to the 

 reader, but our limits circumscribe us. We therefore bid farewell to them, with the 

 recommendation to the public, not to overlook a work which, though it records 

 the failure of a great enterprize, is yet full of matter, which proclaims it of value."

''Mr. Eyre writes with the plain unaffected earnestness of the best of the old 

 travellers." — Examiner. 



"An intensely interesting book." — Tablet. 



" We must now close these interesting volumes, not, however, without expressing 

 our high approval both of the matter tliey contain, and of the manner of their com- 

 pilation. We rise from the perusal of tliem with a feeling similar to that which 

 follows the enjoyment of a pleasant work of fiction." — Critic.

" I have limited myself to four subjects, which I believe to be most interesting to 

 respectable persons who propose to emigrate. 1st. The climate. 2nd. The mode of 

 investing money. 3rd. The means of educating the young. And 4th. The provision 

 made for the public service of religion." — Extract from the Preface.
