" This is a solid well-informed book, written by a man of g:reat experience, of 

 unusual attainments, and thoroughly acquainted with Spain." — Examiner. 



'' These volumes contain the plain and unaffected narrative of a well-informed and 

 experienced man, with much interesting and general information with respect to 

 Spain, and some judicious observations on recent transactions in that country. As 

 an authentic account, therefore, of the present social and physical condition of the 

 Spaniards, we have read the work with interest, and recommend it to the perusal of 

 our readers." — Morning Herald. 



" This is not a work to be skipped over and forgotten in favour of the next published 

 holiday journal. In one point of view— namely, as an architectural guide, this Tour 

 appears to have claims su|.erior to most of its predecessors. Here and there, too, we 

 have a contribution to Natural History worth attending to, as having been made by 

 the travelling companion of our distinguished countryman. Dr. Daubeny," — Athenaeum.

A VOCABULARY 



OF TKS DIAI.ECTSofSOUTH-lVBSTERM' AUSTRAI.ZA> 



By captain G. GREY, 83rd Regiment, 



GOVERNOR OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA. 



" The talented little work of Captain Grey, which is modestly put forth as a Voca- 

 bulary, rather deserves to be called a Grammar of the Aborigines' language. Captain 

 Grey has evidently studied the dialects of the tribes of Western Australia with great 

 attention to have produced this wmk, inasmuch as throughout the whole of Australia 

 it is well known that no dialect spoken by any one tribe, can be considered a specimen 

 of the general tongue ; the difficulty, therefore, of putting together a vocabulary of an 

 entire dialect wherewith to base all others upon, must have engaged great energy and 

 perseverance. So interesting is the introduction, that we purpose to quote very largely 

 from Captain Grey's observations, and conclude with a few specimens of the words, 

 of which there are upwards of two thousand in this interesting little Work. '

SURGEON, R.N. 



Author of " Two Years in New South Wales," ^-c. 



"The mere name of Mr. Cunningham affords an ample guarantee for the value of 

 any work to which it may be prefixed ; and, " to all whom it may concern," we can 

 confidently recommend this remarkably neat little volume as replete with practical 

 information. Its numerous ilhistrative engniviiigs in wood are executed in a very 

 superior sty\c."— Naval and Military Gazette, October 2'3rd, 1841.
