Seventy-five to eighty hitherto unpublished plates of 

 sketches and photographs lend additional interest to M. de 

 Sornay's work. 



We wish this work all the success it deserves, and can 

 hardly fail to obtain ; for not only is it the product of long 

 and unremitting toil, but it will certainly lighten the tasks 

 of numerous other workers. It will take first place among 

 the good books dealing with tropical agriculture.
