ill Provinces of the Austrian Empire, in the Years 1820,

recently seen. The author is a man of sound observation ; and
even where the novelty is not great, he succeeds, by a per-
spicuous style, and an acutene of remark, in bringing his
subjects before ;he reader in a very interesting manner."—Literary
Gazette, 26.

' bestial, which 1 suppose every man has read, and which I know
every man ought to read, I mean Captain Basil Hall's Work on
South America. The whole book was one argument, shooing
the allance of that trade to this country. No man knew better
than Captain Hall how to derive information from the most seem-

fect knowledge of the Habits and Feelings ef the people."—

coming from the pen of one Writer, may be considered one of the
moat extraordinary books in the language.
