'MIND EDITION OF

EXTRACTS from a JOURNAL written on the COASTS of
CHILI, PERU, and MEXICO, in the Years IH2O, 11121,
By Captain BASIL HALL, Royal Navy,
Author of `• A Voyage to boo Chao."
Considerable curiosity having been expressed as to the climates
on the Coast of the Patific Ocean, there has been added to the Ap-
pendix, a brief notice on this subect, extracted from a detailed
professional Memoir drawn up by Itlr. George Bernie, R. S., Sur-
geon of the Conway "—Prelate to Third Edition.
If I am farther calks! upon to describe the value of a full in-
tercourse with South America, I shall refer to a very valuable pub-
lication, which I suppose every roan has real, and which I know
every man ought to read, I mean Captain Basil Hall's Work on
South America. The whole book was one argutnent, showing
the importance of that trade to this country. No man knew better
than Captain Hall how to derive information iroin the most scent.
ingly trilling conversations, and to give from them the most per.
fzet knowledge of the Habits and Feelings of the ',topic
Speech of Sir James Mackintosh in the House of Commons, 15th
of June, on presenting the Petition of the 3lereit,.nts of the City
of London, praying for the recognition of the independence of the
States of South America.

do.* A Wort such as Watt's Bibliothecs has kng been a de.
aderatum in British Literature. Works of a like description have
appeared in Germany ; but this is the first successful attempt to
embody in one view the entire Literature of our country; and,
coming from the pen of one Writer, may be considered one of the
most extraordinary books in the language.
