    In 18mo.—Price Two Shillings. A VOCABULARY OP THE DIALECTS Of SOUTH-WESTERN AUSTRALIA. By CAPTAIN G. GREY, 83rd Regiment, GOVERNOR OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA. “ The talented little work of Captain Grey, which is modestly put forth as a Voca- bulary, rather deserves to be called a Grammar of the Aborigines’ language. Captain Grey has evidently studied the dialects of the tribes of Western Australia with great attention to have produced this work, inasmuch as throughout the whole of Australia it is well known that no dialect spoken by any one tribe, can be considered a specimen of the general tongue ; the difficulty, therefore, of putting together a vocahulary of an entire dialect wherewith to base all others upon, must have engaged great energy and perseverance. So interesting is the introduction, that we purpose to quote very largely from Captain Grey’s observations, and conclude with a few specimens of the words, of which there are upwards of two thousand in this interesting little Work.” Australian Record, January 23rd, 1841. In One Volume, 8vo. With Large Map by Arrowsmith, and numerous Plates, Price 14s. NEW ZEALAND, ITS ADVANTAGES AND PROSPECTS AS A BRITISH COLONY, WITH A FULL ACCOUNT OF THE LAND CLAIMS, SALES OF CROWN LANDS, ABORIGINES, etc. By CHARLES TERRY, Esa. F.R.S., F.S.A. “ This work is unquestionably a valuable addition to our stock of information respect- ing New Zealand. It is the work of a percipient witness, and one moreo'ver who possesses qualifications for the task he has undertaken. We earn<^tly recdmmeftd it to our readers, and have no doubt the book will take its place in allrTew Zealand col- lections.’’—New Zealand Journal. “ No person should think of emigrating to that colony for the future until he has carefully perused this intelligent and highly interesting volume.”—U. S. Gazette. “ We are disposed to regard this as the very best book upon New Zealand that has as yet been published.”—Old Monthly Mag. “ While emigration to New Zealand was all the rage, we looked in vain for such a work ; it is honest and very cleverly written.”—British Queen. ‘‘ A sensible, temperate, and carefully written book.”—Examiner. 1‘ This is the most practical work that has yet been published on New Zealand ; it deals largely with facts, and contains an authentic and complete view of the situation of the colony up to the present time. It is only common justice to his talents and integrity to add, that of all writers capable of giving so much information respecting an infant colony, and giving it with so much exactitude and comprehensiveness, Mr. Terryis, beyond all comparison, the most strictly impartial we are acquainted with.
