AUSTRALIA, FROM PORT MACQUARIE TO MORETON BAY,
WITH _Descriptions of the Natives, their Manners and Customs, the Geology, Natural Productions, Fertility, and Resources of that Region_.
First explored and surveyed by order of the Colonial Government. BY CLEMENT HODGKINSON.
"The work before our consideration contains certain details connected with the portion of Australia, described in it, which will prove of first-rate importance to the colonist and emigrant, since they are evidently derived from practical experience. Throughout this unpretending little work we trace great honesty of purpose, and a disposition to state no more than the bare facts as they presented themselves."--_New Quarterly Review._
_Just published, in 2 vols. 8vo. with a large Map_,
AN HISTORICAL, POLITICAL, AND STATISTICAL ACCOUNT OF THE ISLAND OF CEYLON.
BY CHARLES PRIDHAM, ESQ. AUTHOR OF "THE MAURITIUS AND ITS DEPENDENCIES."
"----All these events will be found fully set forth in the volumes under notice, which are certainly far superior as a history of Ceylon to any other that has yet appeared. The reader will also find in these pages curious and original information respecting the habits, manners and customs of the Cingalese, which he may look for in vain in similar publications. Every portion of this valuable work teems with information of a precise and important character."--_Observer._
"Those who seek information on the subject of Ceylon, will find his book a great storehouse of facts."--_Economist._
