HINTS FOR AUSTRALIAN EMIGRANTS,

WITH
ENGRAVINGS AND EXPLANATORY DESCRIPTIONS
OF THE WATER RAISING WHEELS,
AND MODES OF IRRIGATING LAND IN SYRIA, EGYPT, SOUTH AMERICA, ETC.

BY PETER CUNNINGHAM,
SURGEON, R.N.
_Author of "Two Years in New South Wales," &c._

"The mere name of Mr. Cunningham affords an ample guarantee for the value of any work to which it may be prefixed; and, "to all whom it may concern," we can confidently recommend this remarkably neat little volume as replete with practical information. Its numerous illustrative engravings in wood are executed in a very superior style."--_Naval and Military Gazette, October 23rd, 1841._

In 1 vol. 8vo. Map and Plates, cloth, price 12_s._

AUSTRALIA,
FROM PORT MACQUARIE TO MORETON BAY,

WITH
_Descriptions of the Natives, their Manners and Customs, the Geology,
Natural Productions, Fertility, and Resources of that Region_.

First explored and surveyed by order of the Colonial Government.
BY CLEMENT HODGKINSON.

"The work before our consideration contains certain details connected with the portion of Australia, described in it, which will prove of first-rate importance to the colonist and emigrant, since they are evidently derived from practical experience. Throughout this unpretending little work we trace great honesty of purpose, and a disposition to state no more than the bare facts as they presented themselves."--_New Quarterly Review._

_Just published, in 2 vols. 8vo. with a large Map_,

AN HISTORICAL,
POLITICAL, AND STATISTICAL ACCOUNT
OF THE
ISLAND OF CEYLON.

BY CHARLES PRIDHAM, ESQ.
AUTHOR OF
"THE MAURITIUS AND ITS DEPENDENCIES."

"----All these events will be found fully set forth in the volumes under notice, which are certainly far superior as a history of Ceylon to any other that has yet appeared. The reader will also find in these pages curious and original information respecting the habits, manners and customs of the Cingalese, which he may look for in vain in similar publications. Every portion of this valuable work teems with information of a precise and important character."--_Observer._

"Those who seek information on the subject of Ceylon, will find his book a great storehouse of facts."--_Economist._

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

----The extreme interest evinced by the public would be likely to secure a welcome for these views if their execution had been less felicitous than it is. The Party arriving at the Southern Depôt is fearfully grand.----ATHENÆUM.

----Such are these ten extraordinary views; revealing scenes which are enough to appal the stoutest hearts. We seem to ask of these mountains of thick-ribbed ice "are our countrymen hidden from us by your fantastic forms?" &c.----LITERARY GAZETTE.

----We do not remember ever being so powerfully impressed with the sublimity of portfolio drawings as with some of these views of the _icy Polar Regions_ of the trackless North.----UNITED SERVICE GAZETTE.

----We do not speak of it as a work of art merely, but of the evident truth of delineation, of local colouring, and atmospheric effects.----GLOBE.

----This is a work which will no doubt meet with general patronage--giving a vivid idea of the frozen regions.----BELL'S LIFE.

----Ten of the most interesting views which scenery can furnish.----ATLAS.

----Perhaps the most attractive, as well as most effective, is _Noon in Mid-Winter_, and conveys the most solemn notions of the _Polar Regions_. This portfolio is the novelty of the season.----CRITIC.
