The position and influence of the author, his enterprise and scientific attainments, have enabled him to make exten. sive additions to our limited knowledge of the various interesting portions of the globe wbich he traversed. The contributions to the geography of the great American Continent, in particular, over which he proceeded from Canada to Vancouver, will be found extremely valuable, as well as his notices of the various tribes of the aborigines with whom he came in contact@his residence at Sitka, and account of the Aleutian Archipelago -his descriptions of Kamschatka and Siberia—and his journeys over those vast regions of the Russian Empire, concerning which we have hitherto received such scanty information.” “A more valuable or instructive work, or one more full of perilous adventure and beroic enterprise, we have never met with.”—John Bull. “ It deserves to be a standard work in all libraries, and it will becomo so.”—Messenger. “The countries of which this work gives us a new knowledge are probably destined to act with great power on our interests, some as the rivals of our commerce, some as the depots of our manufactures, and some as the recipients of that overflow of population which Europe is now pooring out from all her fields on the open wilderness of the world."-Blackwood's Magazine, HOCHALAGA; OR, ENGLAND IN THE NEW WORLD.

We shall be surprised if it do not go through many. It possesses almost every qualification of a good book-grace, variety, and vigour of style-a concentrated power of description, which has all the effect of elaborate painting-information carefully collected and judiciously communicated-sound and enlarged views of important questions-a hearty and generous love of country and the whole pervaded by a refined but sometimes caustic humour, which imparts a constant attraction to its pages. We can cordially recommend it to our readers, as well for the amusement of its lighter portions, the vivid brilliancy of its descriptions, and the solid information it contains respecting Canada, and the position generally of England in the new world.”—John Bull.
