    JOURNALS OF EXPEDITIONS OF DISCOVERY IN NORTH-WEST AND WESTERN AUSTRALIA, DURING THE YEARS 1837, 1838, and 1839, Under the Authority of her Majesty’s Government. With Observations on the Agricultural and Commercial Capabilities and Prospects of several newly-explored fertile Regions, including AUSTRALIND, and on the Moral and Physical Condition of the Aboriginal Inhabitants, &c. &c. By GEORGE GREY, Esa., late Captain 83rd Regt. FORMERLY GOVERNOR OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA, NOW GOVERNOR OF NEW ZEALAND. With Two large Maps by J. Arrowsmith, and numerous Illustrations, some coloured, in 2 vols. 8vo. “ 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, Dumpier, 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. “ We have not read such a work of Travels for many years ; it unites the interest of a romance with the permanentqualitiesof 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 huve met with.”—Westminster Review. “ A book which should be in every lending library and book-club.” Englishman’s Magazine. “ The contents of these interesting volumes will richly repay an attentive perusal. • Emigration Gazette. “These narratives ore replpte with interest, and blend information and amusement, in a very happy manner.”—Australian Magazine.
