\ OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. \ 



\ " The cession of the territory of Sarawak by the Sultau of Borneo to our country- \ 



\ man, Mr. Brooke, and its rapid consolidation and prosperity under his benignant rule, '> 



\ have awakened the mind of Europe, and that of England especially, to the great J 



\ political and commercial importance of the numerous and beautiful groups of islands \ 



'/ in the Asiatic Archipelago. All these points were visited during the long voyage ^ 



'< of the Samarang, some of them several times; and the Narrative is intensely \ 



i interesting." — Athenceum. ' \ 



< " What channels are opening ,and how delightful it is to believe that an irresistible ', 

 ', inipidse has been given to the deliverance of these masses from oppression ! Captain 5 

 \ Belcher "affords ns some most interesting intelligence in regard to this devoutly-to-be- ' 

 \ wished-for consummation, and we hope the generality of our readers will follow the course 



$ of this voyage from Borneo to Loo-Choo, Korea, and Japan. The commercial intclli- ^ 



\ gence and advice are particularly valuable. The Vocabularies of the various languages, \ 



\ so acceptably collected by Capt. Belcher, are of singular philological interest." — Lite- ';
