"His pages breathe the poetry of travel, the romance of Sir 

 John Mandeville, tempered by the moderation of scientific research. 

 This is a very model of a travel book, and the author is to be 

 congratulated on a result that will insure a wide public for the 

 promised sequel." The World, London, England. 



"The book is beyond question the most valuable of all the 

 books on South America which has appeared. It is as interesting 

 as a novel, full of entertaining anecdote and of real value to 

 the student. It contains some maps and excellent illustrations from 

 photographs." The Call, San Francisco, Cal. 



"This is a remarkably interesting book, leading us through a 

 region little known to the majority of English travelers, and 

 possessing, in consequence, that charm of novelty in which works 

 of the same description are occasionally deficient." The Standard, 

 London, England. 



"The reader will find this trip with the author, "Up the 

 Orinoco and Down the Magdalena," as agreeable and instructive 

 as a personally conducted visit to the heart of the Andes." 

 Evening Transcript, Boston, Mass. 



"This volume, remarkable alike for its instructive qualities 

 and the excellent composition, will open a vista of delight to 

 the reader who relishes travel." The News, Charleston, S. C. 



"Dr. Mozans sees the country with the trained and experienced 

 eye of a world traveler and with the well stocked mind of the 

 lover of literature. The past is linked with the present, the 

 unknown with the known, and poetically appreciated in a way 

 that is most delightful." The Tribune, Chicago, 111. 



"The author, a traveler of many years of experience, who 

 has explored strange corners of the globe in every zone, com- 

 bines with accurate observation and a facile power of description 

 a knowledge of history that enables him to illuminate his work 

 with something of the romance that attaches to the tales of the 

 conquistadores in whose trail he followed on this journey. The 

 resulting book is one that gives the reader a complete new set of 

 impressions and ideas concerning Venezuela and Columbia and the 

 great rivers that water these still unsettled lands." The Times Star, 

 Cincinnati, Ohio. 



"Not since the appearance of Humboldt's "Personal Narrative 

 of Travels in the Equinoctial Regions of America" has the fertile 

 and romantic region of Tierra Firma the scene of the exploits 

 of some of this most illustrious of the Conquistadores been so 

 fully and so vividly described as by Doctor Mozans in his in- 

 structive and fascinating volume "Up the Orinoco and Down the 

 Magdalena." Bulletin of the Pan-American Union.
