' LATEST ACCOUNT OF THE NEW ZEALANDERS. 3 SAVAGE LIFE AND SCENES IN AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND. Being an Artist's impressions of Countries and People at the Antipodes. By GEORGE FRENCH ANGAS, Esq. Second edition, in two vols. post 8vo., with numerous Illustrations, price 24s. cloth. "These volumes are the production of an intelligent and pains-taking traveller, who spent considerable time amongst the aborigines of Australia and of New Zealand, under circumstances peculiarly favourable to an accurate observation of their habits and character. Mr. Angas's volumes are enriched with numerous illustrations, and are eminently worthy of the confidence of readers. They bear the impress of truth, are the productions of an observant and intelligent mind, and will do more to familiarize our countrymen with the scenery and natives of the colonies described, than any other work with which we are acquainted."-Eclectic Review. "The graphic style of the writing, and the high artistical character of the embellishments, bear out the description of these volumes in the title. The author has seen everything with an artist's eye, and recorded it with an artist's pen."-Church of England Quarterly. "Mr. Angas writes as an artist; and he does not write the worse for that. We can see what he sees, because he understands the art of word-painting. All that he writes is eminently objective. There is an individuality in his descriptions which brings the scene or the person vividly before our eyes. It is nature-it is life-that is presented to us."Atlas. "Mr. Angas is just such an explorator, observer, and artist as we could wish to send out to any part of the world, civilised or uncivilised, of which we wished to have a fair description. Now Australia and New Zealand, of which so much has been written, are, as regards the pencil, almost undescribed countries, while they present, in the novel aspects of nature, much to interest, and as the field of colonization, appeal to deeper feelings than those of mere curiosity. The whole work is full of entertainment."-Patriot. "Mr. Angas has evidently a passion for travelling, and nature has, in many ways, fitted him for this arduous pursuit. His style is joyous and readable, and we know not when we have read two volumes containing so much that is new and interesting."-Jerrold's Magazine. * * "These are two volumes of good artistical description, with much of finer staple than the title-page promises. Mr. Angas observed nature in the Southern hemisphere with a painter's eye, and has thrown much poetical feeling into his impressions of it."Morning Chronicle. "He has not the bias or coarseness of many who have gone out to the antipodes; he has a better taste, in some sense a more cultivated mind, and is lifted above the atmosphere of Colonial partizanship."-Spectator. "After a careful reading of these two volumes, we pronounce them, without any hesi❤ tation, to afford on the whole the most faithful pictures of savage life in Australia and New Zealand yet published."-Weekly Chronicle. "Mr. Angas has happily shown the present state of the countries he has seen; and we will venture to say that his experience amongst the inhabitants of New Zealand extends further than that of any adventurer who may have preceded him."-Douglas Jerrold's Weekly Newspaper.
