VOYAGES ROUND THE WORLD, from the Death of Captain Cook to the Present Time; including Remarks on the Social Condition of the Inhabitants in the recently discovered Countries; their Progress in the Arts; and more especially their advancement in Religious Knowledge. New York: Harper and Brothers.

This volume is No. 172 of “The Family Library,” and may be considered as a continuation of No. 82 (of the same “Library,”) which gives an account of the various voyages round the world prior to the death of Captain Cook. The two volumes are very comprehensive — indeed complete — and embody a vast amount of invaluable knowledge, quite independent of that rich interest which always appertains to books of travel — especially of travel by sea. \Veil printed, on fine paper, in a neat duodecimo, and handsomely bound.
