" We heartily commend this work of Mr. Lyell's to our readers, and 

 assure them that its perusal will be an intellectual treat. . His scientific 

 notes are of great value, and make us rather proud of our country." 

 American Agriculturist. 



'* The production of a ripe scholar, and science is cosmopolite. The 

 work is full of shrewd and sensible observations." New Orl. Bee. 



" We indeed rejoice that so careful an observer of the phenomena of na- 

 ture has given us such a mass of facts, all of which are well authenticated " 

 Lutheran Observer. 



" Full of interesting and valuable results." Simms* Mo. Mag 



'* This book is the most sensible ever written on America by an English- 

 man." Graham's Magazine. 



" The author is just the kind of traveller whose opinions we should re- 

 spect. No one can read his work without being struck by the fairness of 

 spirit and the sincerity with which he writes." Picayune. 



" Mr. Lyell's book is quite a gem. We gather from every page of this 

 work, the most valuable information. His discussions throughout are ex- 

 ceedingly learned." True Sun. 



" A most interesting work, and one of the highest practical value " 

 Pittsburgh Chron. 



" It contains a mass of information of a scientific character that renders it 

 most welcome to American readers." Hartford Courant. 



" This work will prove a most acceptable one to American readers as a 

 book of popular interest, and of useful scientific information." JV*. Y. News. 



" It is a record of the observations of a most intelligent traveller and fas- 

 cinating writer. . . . The author has the rare faculty of making his readers feel 

 as if they were his compagnons de voyage ; and everything that he relates 

 seems to become with them almost a matter of personal experience. The 

 grace and beauty and power with which he describes the scenes and places 

 that he witnessed and visited, have not been surpassed by any modern 

 traveller." Albany Argus. 



** This is, indeed, a refreshing book. It is from the pen of a man of 

 known science ; but he is also a philosopher, and one wh>^ looks rather at 

 the great causes and their effects in Nature and in society, than at those trifle* 

 which take up the attention of lesser mind's, and upon which such minds 

 but too frequently, alone delight to dwell." Buffalo Pilot. 



" Few books more really valuable have recently been issued from the 

 American press." Buffalo Advertiser. 



" Its scientific investigations, and its impartiality as a Journal, render this 

 work worthy of being extensively read." Hunt's Magazine. 



' We have read this book with great pleasure and instruction and 



can confidently recommend it." JV. O. Delta. 



' We must now leave this desirable and instructive publication to the 

 popularity it so well deserves, both from the scientific and the general 

 reader " Anglo- Amet ican.
