"The mere name of Mr. Cunningham affords an ample guarantee for the
value of any work to which it may be prefixed; and, "to all whom it may
concern," we can confidently recommend this remarkably neat little
volume as replete with practical information. Its numerous illustrative
engravings in wood are executed in a very superior style."--_Naval and
Military Gazette, October 23rd, 1841._
In 1 vol. 8vo. Map and Plates, cloth, price 12_s._
AUSTRALIA,
FROM PORT MACQUARIE TO MORETON BAY,
WITH
_Descriptions of the Natives, their Manners and Customs, the Geology,
Natural Productions, Fertility, and Resources of that Region_.
First explored and surveyed by order of the Colonial Government.
BY CLEMENT HODGKINSON.
"The work before our consideration contains certain details connected
with the portion of Australia, described in it, which will prove of
first-rate importance to the colonist and emigrant, since they are
evidently derived from practical experience. Throughout this
unpretending little work we trace great honesty of purpose, and a
disposition to state no more than the bare facts as they presented
themselves."--_New Quarterly Review._
_Just published, in 2 vols. 8vo. with a large Map_,
AN HISTORICAL,
POLITICAL, AND STATISTICAL ACCOUNT
OF THE
ISLAND OF CEYLON.
BY CHARLES PRIDHAM, ESQ.
AUTHOR OF
"THE MAURITIUS AND ITS DEPENDENCIES."
"----All these events will be found fully set forth in the volumes under
notice, which are certainly far superior as a history of Ceylon to any
other that has yet appeared. The reader will also find in these pages
curious and original information respecting the habits, manners and
customs of the Cingalese, which he may look for in vain in similar
publications. Every portion of this valuable work teems with information
of a precise and important character."--_Observer._
"Those who seek information on the subject of Ceylon, will find his book
a great storehouse of facts."--_Economist._
