Travels in North America in the years 1841-2, with Geological Observations on the United States, Canada, and Nova Scotia. By Charles Lyell, Esq., F. R. S. New York: Wiley and Putnam.

A work full of the most authentic information, and acute remark. Mr. Lyell's literary acquirements are far superior to his elocution. We feel that we need say little about this volume — for it will be purchased and read by all who wish to keep up with the science of the day, or who have any claim, even, to be regarded as “general readers.”
