'' We have never read a work with more delight than the two volumes before us ; 

 they contain a mass of the most pleasing information of the greatest interest to all 

 parties." — Blachicood's Mag. 



" A new country has thus been added to the map of Australia, and a survey of 500 

 miles, in its extreme breadth, has been effected of the regions in the immediate neigh- 

 bourhood of New South Wales. Major Mitchell's Journals are pregnant with interesting 

 facts that possess the striking advantage of being altogether new." — Monthly Chron. 



*' Of uncommon importance and value, while it is full of extraordinary interest, 

 taking scenery, incidents, and man into account ; plates and plans clearly illustrate 

 many passages." — Monthly Review. 



"The rapidly increasing importance of our Australian Colonies renders these vo- 

 lumes a valuable acquisition." — Literary Gazette. 



*' The best volumes that have yet appeared on the subject of the interior of Austra- 

 lia.'' — AthencEum. 



" We have here a work worth hundreds of the volumes of those trading tourists who 

 travel for the purpose of book-making. On his arrival in England, Major Mitchell 

 received the assistance of several eminenl scientific men in the classitication of his 

 natural history specimens : his book therefore has been rendered as complete as such 

 a work could possibly be. Most of the engravings, and they are very numerous, are 

 not only interesting in subject, but both drawn and executed in a splendid and artist- 

 like manner." — United Service Gazette. 



" We have no hesitation in pronouncing these volumes of Major Mitchell's on 

 Australia, to be at once the most interesting that have yet appeared in connexion with 

 this most important and interesting field for emigration ; nor can it be doubted that 

 their publication will speedily lead to the most valuable results, no less in a political 

 than a social point of view." — Naval and Military Gazette. 



" Major Mitchell's work on the survey of Interior Australia is the most important in 

 reference to that country that has issued from the press." — Morning Herald. 



" In novelty and variety of scenery, character, and incident, these volumes recall 

 the idea of the older travellers. The subjects on which our author has thrown a new 

 light are. Zoology, Botany, Geology, Geography, and Man. Altogether, the idea and 

 conduct of the expeditions display the accomplished and practical surveyor." 



Spectator.
