" The foreign prefTes do not often present us with a volume fo inftroetive and fnterefling as the 

 prefent. The author is an. inhabitant of that country, to preferve the glory of which is the object 

 of his laboar, ; and he appears intimately converfant with the chara-Tters, mc-alure3, and teenes 

 which are the fubjeas of his v,-ork. Our attention has been frequently drawn to thcfe iitde i-au- 

 tons, but we never r.iet with :i guide who was apparently fo well informed and jaitntul. 



" Ml had fl.irtered ourfelves that we had a tolerable acquaintance with the happy and eUimaUle 

 fequeftered .Shepherds of the Alps, their government, characters, and habits : ^'"t Mf ■ ^'''^f^''^'\7^ 

 has convinced us that we had manv additional important particulars to iearu. and which .^is canaia 

 and authentic pages impart to us. ' If in his details, the Alpine tribes be exhibited == "^e/'^ h^^l^-^- 

 ings, fliarin^ in the imperfeAions of their fpecies; if the imagination be Icfs gratified and entuu- 

 iiaiin lef, excited than in other reprefeutations the figures are more within nature, the eye dweljs

 flrongly the features of herolfni, patriocihn, and genuine fimpHcity, which characterize the delcen-

By the Rev. William I'exVNant, ll. d. m. a. s. And lately one of His Majelty s 



Chaplains in India. 

 In two volumes oct,-tvo. with plates. Price 18s. in Boards. 

 «' This book contains a great deal of curious and important matter : we have perufed it with 

 uncom.mon fatisfaaion, which was enhanced by the modefty of the Autnor, who did not ra.ie our 

 expectations to too high a pitcli at the commencement. Oneimportant feature will be diilinguil led 

 by the reader throughout the Work, which is that the Author w.-.tes with moderation. He neitlier 

 rates too hi-h, nor wilhes to denrcciatethe Brancinical learning: neither conceals the defects of the 

 Briiilli Government in lndia,norunder-rates the advantages with which it has certainly beenattend- 

 ed to the native InhabitAntJ. .... , . 



Upon the whole, thefe volumes rontain much more information both curious and important on a 

 variety of lubiects, than the title of the book could pohibly have led us to expea."
