NOTES OF A TRAVELLER 



On the Social and Political State of France, Prussia, Switzerland, Italy, and other parts of 

 Europe, during the present Century. By Samuel Laing, Esq. 2d Edit. (1842), 8vo. 16s. cloth. 

 44 The quantity of matter contained in a single volume would outweigh a dozen or twenty 

 common travel-books, and exceeds that of any single work which has for years emanated from 

 the press. Nor is it wanting in literary excellence. The subjects are all important in them- 

 selves, and well presented with a view to attract the reader who would take the slightest 

 interest in such kind of questions. Every thing is exhausted, according to Mr. Laing's mode 

 of exhaustation, yet nothing is overdone. His social and political investigations are 

 interesting from their intrinsic importance, and attractive from their racy, vigorous mode 

 of treatment; his political economy and his statistics have none of the dryness frequently 

 attendant upon such subjects, for they are all well selected and applied ; the reader sees the 

 object they are advanced to prove, and is not wearied by details which convey no idea of a 

 whole or a purpose. The composition throughout is clear, vigorous, and full of life ; the 

 style never stagnates; and in some of the more general descriptions, it displays a rough 

 picture-like power, which presents by a feu touches a general view of the country's physical 

 aspect." Spectator.

44 The statistics, both tabular and explanatory, are elaborate; whether they relate to 

 general questions as the population, the are/t of the country, the extent of cultivntion, 

 the nature of the soil and climate, and the lead ing particulars connected with agriculture, 

 manufactures, commerce, navigation, the arts; or to matters more immediately connected 

 with the state as the finances, the army, the naiiy, justice, religion, and public education ;

 the different official personages, as well as of tht- state of affairs previous to the arrival of
