THE AMAZON AND MADEIRA RIVERS.

Sketches and Descriptions from the Note-Book of an Explorer. By FRANZ KELLER. With 68 Illustrations on Wood. I vol., folio. Cloth, gilt, $7.50.

"The following pages embrace, in addition to a summary of the most important hydrographical results of the voy age, my remarks on the inhabitants, the vegetation, the products, and other topics of interest in connection with these countries-not in the dry form originally assumed by them of a diary, but in the more inviting shape of chapters, under which easier access may be had to the whole.

"The illustrations, which I regard as indispensably supplementary to the description of scenes so foreign to us, are from sketches taken on the spot, and, for preservation of their minute fidelity, drawn on the blocks by myself; and the name of one of our first wood-engravers will further warrant their accuracy.
