ATHENÆUM, _Dec._ 21, 1863.--"Through these Islands Professor Ansted has accomplished a pleasant run, the incidents of which are as pleasantly narrated. What Professor Ansted effected in his volume on the Channel Islands for that insular group in our own seas, he has accomplished as successfully for these Isles of Greece in the work which we now make over to its assured public." THE PRESS, _Jan._ 22, 1864.--"Highly interesting on account of the great variety of information it contains, and not less highly commendable for the impartiality with which the various data for judging of the expediency of the transfer of the Islands to the kingdom of Greece are placed before the reader." TRAVELS IN MEXICO, SOUTH AMERICA, &c., &c. BY G. T. VIGNE, ESQ., Author of "A Personal Visit to Ghuzni and Affghanistan," and "Travels in Kashmir, Ladak," &c. With Illustrations, 2 vols. post 8vo, 21s. OBSERVER, _Nov._ 15, 1863.--"The author seems to have travelled over a great part of South America, and to have visited all the principal towns and places worth seeing, and his observations, which are made with cleverness and intelligence, are characterized by remarkable freshness of feeling, an unaffected style, and a conscientious truthfulness." SPECTATOR, _Nov._ 28, 1863.--"While in Nicaragua the Filibusters were attracting the attention of Europe, and his (Mr. Vigne's) sketch of the fortunes of General Walker up to his execution forms an episode of considerable interest. The special charm in Mr. Vigne's work is the keenness of his observations as a naturalist in the country in which, above all others, nature seems to have revelled in strange and fantastic creations. Without attempting set descriptions of external scenery or natural phenomena, he manages, by the fidelity and freshness of style, to convey to the mind of the reader the pervading atmosphere of the scene and circumstances with rare felicity." READER, _Jan._ 16, 1864.--"We can recommend this work as a pleasantly written narrative of travel in a most interesting and little known region." Wm. H. Allen & Co.
