“ It is not with the slightest hope of satisfying curiosity, or to anticipate the interest 
which the public in general, and geographers especially, always feel in enterprises of 
this nature, but merely to give such a sketch of the principal features of the expedition 
as may serve to direct those who are desirous of obtaining information respecting a 
portion of this remarkable country — hitherto only visited by Tasman, Dampier, Baudin, 
and King, and never before, we believe, penetrated by an European — to look forward 
to the detailed journals of the spirited officers who had the conduct of the expedition.” 
From Geographical Transactions . 
A great portion of the country described in this Journal has never before been visited 
by any European. The Eastern coast of Short’s Bay was for the first time seen and 
explored during the progress of these expeditions. 
“ We have rarely seen a more interesting book ; it is full of splendid description and 
startling personal adventure; written in a plain, manly, unaffected style.” — Examiner. 
“ It is impossible to have perused these highly interesting and important volumes 
without being inspired with feelings of warm admiration for the indomitable perseve- 
rance and heroical self-devotion of their gallant and enterprising author. Setting 
aside the vastly important results of Captain Grey’s several expeditions, it is hardly 
possible to conceive narratives of more stirring interest than those of which, his volumes 
are for the most part composed.” — United Service Gazette. 
u We have not read such a work of Travels for many years ; it unites the interest of 
a romance with the.permanent qualities of an historical and scientific treatise.” — Atlas. 
“ We recommend our readers to the volumes of Captain Grey, assuring them they 
will derive both amusement and instruction from the perusal.” — Times. 
“ This is a work deserving high praise. As a book of Travels it is one of the most 
interesting we remember to have met with.” — Westminster Review. 
“ A book which should be in every lending library and book-club.” 
Englishman' s Magazine. 
il The contents of these interesting volumes will richly repay an attentive perusal.” 
Emigration Gazette. 
u These narratives are replete with interest, and blend information and amusement 
in a very happy manner.” — Australian Magazine.
