1. NAEEATIVE of the VOYAGE of H.M.S. SAMAEANG, 

 during the Years 1843-46. By Captain Sir EDWARD \ 

 BELCHER, C.B., F.E.A.S., and G.S., Commander of the ; 

 Expedition. With a Popular Summary of the NATUEAL 

 HISTOEY of the islands visited, by ARTHUR ADAMS, \ 

 Assistant-Surgeon, E.N. 



" The cession of the territory of Sarawak by the Sultaii of Borneo to our country- 

 man, Mr. Brooke, and its rapid consolidation and prosperity under his benignant rule, 



have awakened the mind of Europe, and that of England especially, to the great ' 



political and commercial importance of the numerous and beautiful groups of islands < 



in the Asiatic Archipelago. All these points were visited during the long voyage ' 



of the Samarang, some of them several times ; and the Narrative is intensely ', 

 interesting." Athenteiim. 



"What channels are opening, and how delightful it is to believe that an irrisistible ; 



impulse has been given to the deliverance of these masses from oppression ; Captain l 



Belcher affords us some most interesting intelligence in regard to this devoutly to be ', 



wished consummation, and we hope the generality of our readers will follow the course :| 



, of this voyage from Borneo to Loo-Choo, Korea and Japan. The commercial intelli- ; 



/ gence and advice are particularly valuable." Literary Gazette.
