REEVE, BEN HAM, AND REEVE. 
TRAVELS m THE INTEEIOE OE BRAZIL; pnncipally 
through the Northern Provinces and. the Gold and Diamond 
Districts, during the years 1836-41. By the late George 
Gardner, M.D., E.L.S., Superintendent of the Royal Botanic 
Gardens of Ceylon. Second and cheaper Edition. 
“ This volume is from the pen of an able naturahst. Not satisfied with the mere 
exploration of the coasts, he plunged into the interior as far to the west as the 
tributaries of the Amazon, ‘ and from near the equator to the 23rd degree of 
south latitude.’ A range so wide required three years to be traversed, — inde- 
pendently of the time passed in researches on the coast. The author’s peculiar 
object was Natm’al History, — under its forms of geology, the animal kingdom, and 
botany ; but, fortunately, he has not confined himself to the physical department. 
Some of the regions which he visited have seldom been trodden by Europeans — 
never by Englishmen ; so that his observations derive value from the novelty of 
the matters to which they relate.” — Atlienceum. 
“ The narrative of his varied adventures forms not only to the enthusiastic 
botanist, but to the general reader, an exceedingly entertaining and also in- 
structive book, fi’om the new view which it gives of the society of Brazil — particu- 
larly in its less known provinces .” — TaWs Edinburgh Magazine. 
“ When camping ont on the mountain-top or in the wilderness ; roughing it in 
his long journeys throngh the interior; observing the very singidar mode of life 
there presented to his notice ; describing the curions characters that fell under his 
observation, the arts or substitutes for arts of the people, and the natm’al pro- 
ductions of the country — these Travels in the Interior of Brazil are full of 
attraction. The book, like the country it describes, is fnU of new matter.” — 
Spectator.
