A Narrative of a Visit to the Mauritius and South 

 Africa. By James Backhouse. 8vo. Hamilton & Lo. 

 At p. 142, of our volume for 1843, we briefly noticed 

 a former work by Mr. Backhouse, on the Colony ot JNew 

 South Wales and its Dependencies. We have now before 

 us another volume, equally rich in interesting facts con- 

 cerning the Cape of Good Hope and Isle of * ranee. 

 Here, too, we have some instructive portraits of the trees 



of South Africa. ,. 



With the objects of the author, which were of a reli- 

 gious Character, it is beyond our province to raed ^ e * 

 All we have to do is to pick out from among the many 

 interesting statements regarding the vegetation ot *ne 

 country he visited, a few passages which may w i aa 

 inducement to the reader to desire a nearer acquaintance 



with the work itself. . , Virginia
