OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 



" This vohnne is from the pen of an able naturalist, whose heart is in his occupation. 



Mr. Gardner was educated for the professions of medicine and sm-gery ; and to his 



Knowledge in these respects he was indebted during his travels for many advantages, 



—perhaps even for their successful result. Unlike most other travellers, he was not 



satisfied with the mere exploration of the coasts of the vast Brazilian empire ; but 



i plunged into the interior as far to the west as the tributaries of the Amazon, ' and 



; from near the equator to the 23rd degree of south latitude.' A range so wide

; on the coasts. The author's peculiar object was Natm-al History, — under its forais 



; of geology, the animal kingdom, and botany ; but, fortunately, he has not confined 



! himself to the physical department. What he terms ' cursory remarks on the 



' character, habits, and condition of the different races, whether indigenous or otherwise,'
