VOYAGES AND TRAVELS. 



SIX YEARS OF A TRAVELLER'S LIFE IN 



WESTERN AFRICA. By Francisco Valdez, Arbitrator at Loanda, 

 and the Cape of Good Hope, 2 vols, with Ilhistrations. 



" A book of value and importance. Its intrinsic merits are so many and so positive that 

 we shall be greatly surprised if the work does not equal that by Dr. Livingstone in popu- 

 larity, and be of similar value to the cause of Africa eventually." — Messent^er. 



"The immense amount of sterling information contained In this elaborate and instructive 

 work cannot fail of ensuring a most cordial recognition of its merits at the hands of all 

 such as have at heart the spread of Christianity and commerce in Africa." — Lit. Gaz. 



TWO YEARS IN SWITZERLAND AND ITALY. 



By Fredrika Bremer. Translated by Mary IIowitt. 2 vols, 



"Anew work from the pen of Miss Bremer is ever hailed, not only with a hearty 

 welcome, but with general acclamation. Such a reception will be given to this last specimen 

 of her literary labours, which is certamly one of the best works she has ever yet produced. 

 Where could such subjects as Switzerland and Italy hnd a more generous exponent? Who 

 could appreciate the grandeur of the scenery of the land of freedom better than Fredrika 

 Bremer? Who could see and understand all the phases of Italian society in its approach- 

 ing struggle for liberty, better than this warm-hearted and generous woman ? We have 

 revelled in the volumes and can scarcely find words adequately to express our admiration 

 of the manner in which Fredrika Bremer has told all she saw and fell during the two years 

 she passed in the loveliest parts of Europe, The book is the best that ever was written on 

 such themes." — Messenger, 



TRAVELS IN EASTERN AFRICA, WITH THE 



NARRATIVE OF A RESIDENCE IN MOZAMBIQUE: 1856 to 1859. 

 By LYONS McLEOD, Esq. F.R.G.S.. &c. Late British Consul in Mo- 

 zambique. 2 vols. With Map and Illustrations, 21s, 



"Mr. M'Leod's volumes contains chapters for all readers — racy narrative, abundance 

 of incident, compendious history, important matter-of-fact statistics, and many a pag« 

 which will be perused with pleasure by the naturalist." — Athencetim. 



•• Mr. M'Leod's work furnishes information concerning the commercial capabilities, 

 not only of the Portugese settlements, but also of the Cape and Natal, together with par- 

 ticulars concerning Mauritius. Madagascar, and the Seychelles. It likewise gives a peculiar 

 insight into the combinations and influences which operate upon the Portuguese authorities 

 in relation to the slave trade." — 'limes. 



LAKE NGAMI; OR EXPLORATIONS AND DIS- 



COVERIKS DURING FoUR YeARs' WANDERINGS IN THE WiLDS OF 



South-Western Africa. By CHARLES JOHN ANDERSSON. 1 vol. 

 royal 8vo., with Map and upwards of 50 Illustrations, representing Sport- 

 ing Adventures, Subjects of Natural History, &c. Second Edition. 



"This narrative of African explorations and discoveries is one of the most important 

 geographical works that have lately appeared. It contains the account of two journeys 

 made between the years 1850 and 1854, in the first of which the countries of the Damaras- 

 and the Ovambo, previously scarcely known in Europe, were explored; and in the second 

 the newly-discovered Lake Ngami was reached by a route that had been deemed imprac- 

 ticable, but which proves to be the shortest and the best. The work contains much scientific 

 and accurate information as to the geology, the scenery, products, and resources of the 

 regions explored, with notices of the religion, manners, and customs of the native tribes. 

 The continual sporting adventures, and other remarkable occurrences, intermingled with 

 the narrative of travel, make the book as interesting to read as a romance, as , indeed, a 

 good book of travels ought always to be. The illustrations by Wolf are admirably designed, 

 and most of them represent scenes as striking as any witnessed by Jules Gerard or Gordon 

 Gumming." — Literary Gazette.

OF A NAVAL OFFICER. Edited by Captain Fenton Aylmer. 2 v.
