Through the labors of the artists, Messrs. Drayton and Agate, in connection with 

 the literary and scientific duties of the other officers, the Journals of the expedition 

 are of two kinds — the written and the pictorial, and although the former is neces- 

 sarily the more complete, yet the latter in consequence of the industry of those gen- 

 tlemen and the large number and faithfulness of the sketches made, Avould of itself 

 give a very thorough account of the islands and races we have seen; and in many 

 respects far more detailed and satisfactory than is possible with the pen. The scen- 

 ery of the islands, their mountains and forests, their villages, with interior and ex- 

 terior views of the huts or houses of both chiefs and connnon people, spirit houses 

 or temples, war implements, fortifications, househcdd utensils, tools, canoes, the na- 

 tives sitting in council, dressed and painted for Avar, the domestic scenes of the vil-

 glery, and numerous other particulars illustrating the modes of life, habits, and cus- 

 toms of the various tribes inhabiting the islands or countries Adsited, have been 

 sketched with fidelity. Indeed nothing escaped their pencil when time Avas allowed, 

 and the series of sketches when finished — for nniny Avere necessarily left in outline — 

 Avill be more instructive and interesting than the highest literary abilities could 

 render the journal of the voyage. One picture by Mr. Agate, rei)resenting a temple 

 on a newly discovered island, and the cocoanut grove about it, containing one ride, 

 three or four naked savages starting in affright from an ofiicer that is just beginning 

 to puff a cigar, and is pouring theAolumes of smoke from his mouth, the impression 

 of such a scene can not be conveyed in Avords, nor the idea it gives of the ignorance 

 and superstition of the saA^age. The portraits are numerous, and are not merely
