    LIBRARY OF AUSTRALIAN TRAVELS &c. PUBLISHED BY T. AND W. BOONE, 29, NEW BOND STREET. In 2 vols. 8vo. with Maps and numerous Plates, JOURNALS OF EXPEDITIONS OF DISCOVERY INTO CENTRAL AUSTRALIA, AND OVERLAND FROM ADELAIDE TO KING GEORGE’S SOUND In the Years 1840-1 ; Sent by the Colonists of South Australia, WITH THE SANCTION AND SUPPORT OF THE GOVERNMENT: INCLUDING An Account of the Manners and Customs of the Aborigines, and the state of their relations with Europeans. BY EDWARD JOHN EYRE, RESIDENT MAGISTRATE, MURRAY RIVER, NOW LIEUT.-GOVERNOR OP NEW ZEALAND. %* The Founder's Medal of the Royal Geographical Society was awarded to Mr. Eyre for the discovery of Lake Torrens, and explorations of far greater extent in Australia than any other traveller, a large portion never having been previously traversed by civilized man. “ His narrative of what he did and overcame, is more like the stirring stories of Park and Bruce than the tame and bookish diffuseness of modern travellers. Nothing short of a perusal of the volumes can enable our readers to appreciate this book.”—Spectator. “ We might easily extract much more from Mr. Eyre’s volumes of interest to the reader, but our limits circumscribe us. We therefore bid farewell to them, with the recommendation to the public, not to overlook a work which, though it records the failure of a great enterprize, is yet full of matter, which proclaims it of value.” Atlas. ‘‘Mr. Eyre writes with the plain unaffected earnestness of the best of the old travellers.”—Examiner. “An intensely interesting book.”—Tablet. “ We must now close these interesting volumes, not, however, without expressing our high approval both of the matter they contain, and of the manner of their com- pilation. We rise from the perusal of them with a feeling similar to that which follows the enjoyment of a pleasant work of fiction.”—Critic.
