Beinc: an Artist's impressions of Countries and People at the Antipodes. 

 By George Fuench Axcjas, Esq. Second edition, in two vols, post 

 8vo., with numerous Illustrations, price 24s. cloth. 



" These volumes are the production of an intelligent and pains-taking travell(>r, who 

 spent considerable time amongst the aborigines of Australia and of New Zealand, under 

 cirrumslanccs peculiarly favourable to an accurate observation of their habiis and 

 character. Rlr. Angas's volumes are enriched with numerous illustrations, aiui are 

 eminently worthy of the confidence of readers. They bear the impress of truth, are the 

 productions of an observant and intelligent mind, and will do more to familiarize our 

 countrymen with the scenery and natives of tiie colonies described, than any other work 

 ■with which we are acquainted." — Eclectic Review. 



"The graphic style of the writing, and the high arlistical character of the embellish- 

 ments, bear out the description of these volumes in the title. The author has seen every- 

 thing with an artist's eye, and recorded it with an artist's pen." — Church of Ensfland 

 Quarter///. 



" Mr. Angas writes as an artist ; and he does not write the worse for that. We can see 

 ■what he sees, because he understands the art of word-painting. All that he writes is 

 eminently objective. There is an individuality in his descriptions which brings the scene 

 or the person vividly before our eyes. It is nature — it is life — that is presented to us." — 

 ^tlax. 



" Mr. Angas is just such an explorator, observer, end artist as we could wish to send 

 out to any part of the world, civilised or uncivilised, of which we wished to have a fair 

 description. Now Australia and New Zealand, of which so much has been written, are, 

 as regards the pencil, almost undescribed countries, while they present, in the novel 

 aspects of nature, much to interest, and as the field of colonization, appeal to deeper feel- 

 ings than those of mere curiosity. * * The whole work is full of entertainment." — I'alrinl. 



" Mr. Angas has evidently a passion for travelling, and nature has, in many ways, fitted 

 him for this arduous pursuit. His style is joyous and readable, and we know not when 

 we have read two volumes containing so much that is new and interesting." — JcrroLd's 

 l\Iagazine. 



" These are two volumes of good arlistical description, with much of finer staple than 

 the title-page promises. Mr. Angas observed nature in the Southern hemisphere with a 

 painter's eye, and has thrown much poetical feeling into liis impressions of it." — 

 Morning Chronicle. 



" lie has not the bias or coarseness of many who have gone out to the antipodes ; he 

 has a belter taste, in some sense a more cultivated mind, and is lifted above the atmo- 

 sphere of Colonial parlizanship." — Spectator. 



" After a careful reading of these two volumes, we pronounce them, without any hesi- 

 tation, to afford on the whole the most faithful pictures of savage life in Australia and New 

 Zealand yet published." — Weekli/ Chronicle. 



" Mr. Angas has happily shown the present stale of the countries he has seen ; and we 

 will venlure to say that his experience amongst the inhabitants of New Zealand c-tends 

 further than that of any adventurer who may have preceded him." — Douglas Jerrold s 

 Weekly Newspaper.
