JAMES MADDEN AND CO., In two volumes, 8vo, cloth, price 1/. 1*., MAJOR SIR WILLIAM LLOYD'S IVTARRATIVE of a JOURNEY from CAUNPOOR to the Borendo -'-Pass, in the Himalaya Mountains, via Gwalior, Agra, Delhi, and Sirhind: with Captain Alexander Gerard's Account of an Attempt to penetrate by Bekhur to Garoo, and the Lake Mansarovara, &c, &c. &c. With Maps. Edited by George Lloyd.

" A more valuable and engaging work we would strive in vain at this moment to name among the recent mass of new books. ***** fhe Major writes not only as a Christian should do, but like a frank soldier. We are pleased to find his sentiments as healthy as they are elegant and elevated." Monthly Review.

" Of the three tours, the' two by the enterprising brothers Gerard were purely scientific in their objects. * * * Major Sir W. Lloyd's contribution is in the form of a journal ; and is the most popular portion of the work, not merely for the subjects he handles, but for the character of the man." Spectator.

"These are two volumes of exceeding value and interest." Britannia.

In One Volume, 8vo, cloth, with large Original Map, price lis., CAPTAIN ALEXANDER GERARD'S ACCOUNT of KOONAWUR in the HIMALAYA, &c. &c. Edited by George Lloyd.

What has already been published, (Major Sir W. Lloyd and Captain Gerard's Tours in the Himalaya, two volumes, 8vo, 21s.,) together with what is contained in this, completes all Captain A. Gerard's Observations and Journeys in the Himalaya.

"The account of the soil, climate, productions, birds, animals, insects, &c., is very full, and grows upon the attention of the reader like the increasing attractions of a marvellous tale. Districts such as Koonawur are, in fact, as strange to us and as full of wonders, as the fabulous gardens in the ' Arabian Nights' Entertainments.' We wish we were able to indicate the curiosities Captain Gerard has gathered into his book, but we must be satisfied with merely referring the reader to the work itself. He will be well paid for his pains. The unexaggerating tone of this book is not its least charming characteristic. If the adventures through which Captain Gerard passed had been in the hands of some of our book-makers, what threetomed, ad captandum exploits they would have carved out of them 1 what pencillings Willis would have made from Captain Gerard's experiences!"
