touching Polar and Tropical regions,
with their marked contrasts, but the
most wonderful and attractive records
of animated nature and of the daring
adventures of travellers and explorers.
1t is in all respects worthy of place
in every well selected library, and fur
nishes reading of the greatest interest
for the family circle. 2'. 500 81

81 have examined with q great deal
of interest, carefully and thoroughly,
the volume entitled "The Polar and
Tropical Worlds" by DR.. e. Hartwig.
L must acknowledge that was disap-
pointed, and agreeabiy so, at the re-
suit of the examination. Usually an
author whe attempts to discuss SUBJ
ject SO extensive, in so small q COM
pass, fails to bring out those points
upon which Information is most de-
sired. 1t is really a very valuable
addition to the literary, and scientific
world, in a form too which may be
read or used as book of reference.
1t is more than cyclOpedia OF the
polar and tropical countries. The
work is well written, and from the
we'll known reputation of tho author,
we know the facts are reliable. /
heartily recommend it as valuable
and useful addition to any private or
public library. X. w. STEPHENSON,

"After examining DIR. Hartwig's
''Polar and Tropical Worlds" Il be-
lieve it to be work of real value, par
ticularly for our young people, yet all
may profit by reading it. 1t gives the
Investigation of explorers in the polar
and equatorial regions and will prove
beneficial to any one desiring to learn
OF the great works of nature. ~,

"Having been asked to write my
opinion of DR.. Hartwig's work The
Polar and Tropical Worlds" 1 have
given it careful scrutiny and find it
impossible to withhold my unfeigned
commenda.ion. The authors informa-
ton is so thorough, his style SO graph
ic, his descriptions so, vivid. the re-
gions over which he carries the reader
so interesting, every page filled with
instruction go fresh and varied, and
the book withal is SO finely and pro-
fusely illustrated, that, to make clean
breast at once, l have been forced to
yield my original repugnancc,i to its
many charms. and thus willingly and
disinterestedly express my opinion
that ii is werthy of a place i'll every
ones library. GEORGE DARsIE.

81 have carefully examined "The
Polar and Tropical Worlds" by DR.
q, Hartwig and DR.. A. II. Guernsey.
and l regard it as an exceedingly val
uablo book. 1t is the very best that
has ever been brought TO my notice
Ii is in fact twenty volumes in one
containing within its covers the vaiu,
able information to be gained from
more than a score of travellers, ex-
| plorers, and scientific men. 1t gives
as accurate and reliable Information
with regard to the most interesting
portions of the earth, where nature
and not man, is supreme. Both the
glory and the terror of the physical
world is here finely exhibited. 1 am
struck with the beauty and accuracy
of its illustrations, and there are more
than two hundred of them. 1 shall
purchase volume myself; for 1 do
not know where else so much knowl-
edge in this direction can be gained al
so little expense and in so short time,
rarely buy subscription book but
| make an honorable exception in this
instance, and cheerfully commend ii
to the public. think it ought to be
in every library and within reach oi
every child. Yours
