Yorkshire Weekly Post. — " As a romance of strange travel, adventures, and 

 as a solid contribution to natural science, this is even a more fascinating and 

 instructive book than the author's first." 



Morning Post.— "This book is so full of marvellous stories that the reader 

 might doubt whether there was not some confusion between memory and imagi- 

 nation if he did not find much intrinsic evidence of its general credibility." 



Aberdeen Free Press. — "A delightful record of unconventional travel, and 

 the reader concludes it in pleasurable anticipation of Mr. Fountain's next book, 

 in which he promises to describe his wanderings in Canada." 



St. James's Gazette. — "Mr. Paul Fountain is one of those rare writers on 

 travel who can make their readers live in the scenes described. . . . Mr. Foun- 

 tain promises another instalment of these valuable accounts of his wanderings 

 should the public show suflicient interest in this book under notice ; and if it 

 be read as widely as it deserves to be, we shall soon welcome more of this ex- 

 plorer's tales of adventure by flood and field." 



Speaker. — "It reads like a romance." 



Pall Mall Gazette.— "Mr. Fountain's new book, 'The Great Mountains 

 and Forests of South America,' fairly surpasses its predecessor in interest, for 

 during two-thirds of its length the author deals with territories practically 

 unexplored. ... If anxious mothers do not wish their boys to acquire a yearn- 

 ing for pathless forests and cayman-haunted streams, it were well to keep those 

 interesting youngsters from a knowledge of Mr. Paul Fountain's South American 

 adventures."
