OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 



" A work of unquestionable merit and utility, and its author's name will justly stand 

 high upon the honourable list of able and enterprising men, whose courage, perseve- 

 rance, and literary abilities have contributed so largely to our knowledge of the 

 geography and productions of our distant southei'u colonies."— ^toeiwood's Mag. 



" For the courage with which this lengthened and perilous journey was undertaken, 

 the skill with which it was directed, and the perseverance with which it was performed, 

 it is almost unrivalled in the annals of exploring enterprise. It richly deserves 

 attention." — Britannia. 



" The narrative in which he relates the results of this remarkable journey, and the 

 extraordinary fatigues and privations endured by himself and his fellow travellers, is 

 not merely valuable for its facts, but full of absorbing interest as a journal of perilous 

 adventures." — A Has. 



'' The volume before us comprises the narrative of one of the most remarkable 

 enterprises ever planned by man's sagacity and executed by man's courage and 

 endurance. To our minds there is in every point of view an inexpressible charm in 

 such a book as this. It not merely narrates to us the opening of a new material world 

 for human enterprise and scientific investigation, but it makes more clearly known to 

 us the wondrous powers and capacities of human nature. We recommend it to our 

 readers as a work scarcely less remarkable for the extraordinary enterprise recorded in 

 it, than for the simplicity and modesty with which it is related." — Morning Herald. 



" The result of his enterprise was thoroughly successful. It has added not a little 

 to our existing stock of knowledge in the various departments of natural history, and 

 has made discovery in districts before untrodden, of an almost boundless extent of fertile 

 country." — Examiner. ^ 



" The most striking feature in theexpcdition is its successful acconiplishment, which 

 is of itself sufficient to place Dr. L. in the first rank of travellers. How much Dr. L. 

 has added to geographical discovery canonly befelt byan examination of the admirable 

 maps which accompany the volume. Tiiese have been deduced on a large scale from 

 the traveller's sketches by Mr. Arrowsmith, and engraved with a distinctness of execu- 

 tion, and a brief fulness of descriptive remark which leave nothing to bo desired." 



Spectator.
