"Mr. Ballantyne has already conducted his young readers through the
Fur Regions of the Far North, besides relating tales of the Esquimaux
and the Pacific Islanders. He may, therefore, be counted among winter
favourites, for his books come with the redbreast, and are equally
cheerful. His Martin Rattler begins life as an unruly fellow, but
improves as he grows older, especially when he gets among the Brazilian
forests--all desolation and beauty. There he learns ever so much of
natural history--as the readers of his adventures may also do if they
please--and witnesses some remarkably curious scenes, which, if not
warranted by reference to Humboldt, are at least described in minute
detail by Mr. Ballantyne, who is always cheerful, entertaining, and
instructive."--_Athenæum._
