tales of the early explorers furnish a wonderful record of courage,
endurance, and dogged perseverance.... Very curious are the descriptions
of the aborigines and the various fashions in which they received the
white men, who seemed to them to have descended from some other
world."--_Morning Post._

"The illustrations and maps, which are exceedingly good, constitute a
special feature of a very instructive and very readable book."--_Glasgow
Herald._

"Mr. Firth Scott has not attempted to embellish these narratives, but
with the help of maps and some good illustrations he brings them vividly
before us in all their picturesqueness."--_Daily Telegraph._

"The stories are well told; they are almost matter of fact at times, but
always full of charm, and the reader will follow them with a steady
curiosity and interest."--_Leeds Mercury._
