CRITICAL AND MISCELLANEOUS EssAYs
" (A new Edition in the Press.)
Mr. Carlyle would be pronounced, even by those who'
hod nowhere seen h'pri but in this accustomed theatre [refer-
ring to his course o lectures on German literature], to be a
man of keen research, of independent and original powers of
thought, of a genius fitted to grapple with difficulties; and to
handle vigorously materials unweildy and intractable. Those
who have the advantage of knowing him elsewhere than in
a lecture-room cannot but feel the most cordial interest in
the success of a man. so endeared, by the virtues of big Kl-
vate character, to all who know, in such a world sra this, the
value of truth, generosity, and honour,"--q*e.v.

THE COIiONYOE WESTERN AUSTRALIA :
A Manual for Emigrants to that Settlement or its Depen-
dencies • got prising its Discovery, Settlement, Aborigines,
Land-Regulations, Principles of Colonial Emigration ; Sta-
tistical, Financial, and Agricultural Reports ; also Instruc-
tions and Hints to Settlers, Directions for the Anchorages,
&c. ; and the latest Map extant. By NATHANIEL OGLE.
With an Appendix, containinGovernor's Commission,
Land Regulations, List of the Names of the Proprietors,
their original Grants and number of Acres, Tenures, Condi-
tions, Transfers, &c.
" As site •is -concerned, the colony of Western Australia
is at present most favourably situated for commerce of any
spot 'in the southern hemisphere, and the object of Mr,
Ogle's v.olitine is-to bring the capabilities of 'that colony
fore the public."—Colonial Gazetteer.
" We know this is a good tool, and, what is more and
!!lii feel tlitlt it is a TRIM book. Every page bears
Upon It the Impress of truth and sincerity of purpose. We
have read many works upon the same subject, but none with
so much pleasure or so much instruction as we have derived
from that now before us. Mr. Ogle's work is a great and
valuable accession to the store we already possess of colonial
information. To all who have either motive or inclination
to emigrate, we can truly recommend its perusal. The map
of the colony is the best extant, and the views of some of
the settlements are highly picturesque."—Salisbury Herald.
"The most valuable, because the most practically useful por-
tion of this work, is that copious department which is devoted
to an account of the actual cdndition of the colcny of Western
Australia, or, as it is better and more specifically designated,
Swan River. This account is compiled and drawn up with so
much care, and from such apparently unquestionable sources
of information, that it may be safely depended upon as a ground
for the adoption of individual views as to the adaptation of
the colony to the wants and circumstances of the various
classes of persons who may be contemplating emigration."—
New Monthly.
" To those who were either present at Mr. Ward's motion
upon the subject of 'emigration' in the last session, or to those
who have read the able debate which that motion occasioned,
the work of Mr. Ogle respecting the colony of Western Ans.
tralia must prove exceedingly interesting. It is a compila-
tion of facts which seem to have been collected with great
care ; and if the authorities upcin which Mr. Ogle relies be
trustworthy, no one who reads this book can entertain the
slightest doubt that the Western Australian colony presents
the greatest advantages to the emigrant, whatever may be
his circumstances. _Morning Chronicle.
