THE SIXTH EDITION OF

BRAZIL AND THE BRAZILIANS.

BY

Rev. J. C. FLETCHER and Rev. D. P. KIDDER.

Svo., cloth, $4 50.

In issuing a new (the sixth) edition of "Brazil and the Brazilians," the publishers have only to say, that, in our own country, in England, and in Brazil, this work has been received as an authority. The recent scientific explorations of Professor AGASSız, the emigration already begun to South America from the United States, the Paraguayan war, and the general prosperity of Brazil, have recently called more than ordinary attention to this Southern Empire.

The present edition is prepared to supply a want felt by the public in England and America. Since the previous editions, one of the authors (Mr. FLETCHER) has visited Brazil four times; and has travelled extensively from the Southern Provinces to the Amazon, and up that noble river to the borders of Peru.

By additions, by notes, and by appendices, an equivalent to one hundred pages of new matter has been added. Information has been brought down to date. It is hardly necessary to add, that this is the only comprehensive work on Brazil extant, containing the history of the country; sketches of its Imperial ruler and of the living Statesmen; descriptions of six different journeys by both authors; literary, scientific, and commercial statistics, and much information for those desiring to emigrate to Brazil. It contains maps, and one hundred and fifty illustrations on steel, stone, and wood.

NOTICES OF THE PRESS..

"Brazil and the Brazilians" is the only work by a foreigner which has done our country justice. It does not spare our faults, but puts them before us in the right light. Translated from the Correio of Rio Janeiro. Senhor FLETCHER knows Brazil from the Province of St. Paulo to the Upper Amazon. He is, as our readers know, one of the authors of the most conscientious and exhaustive book ("Brazil and the Brazilians") on the Empire of Brazil.-Translated from the Jornal de Recife, Pernambuco.

It is a remarkable monument of research and nice observation.-Extract from W. H. Prescott's opinion of "Brazil and the Brazilians."

Brazil was never before so fully, so faithfully, and so artistically photographed.-London Athenæum.

As a thorough account of the country and its policy, government, people, and prosperity, the present volume is superior to anything that we have had.-London Spectator.

The authors, being reflecting as well as observing men, accustomed to think for themselves and see with their own eyes, have produced a book which will be popular for present reading, while being also a permanent acquisition to the library.-London Critic.

[blocks in formation]

We much like 'the way in which Messrs. FLETCHER and KIDDER look at the "peculiar institution." *** The notices of the geography and natural history of the vast regions visited by these enterprising missionaries are full of novelty and interest. *** But the half is not told. Those who wish more information on all these topics we refer to the admirable book now noticed, a book we very heartily commend to all our readers.~ North British Review.

We have rarely met with a' book more entertaining, instructive, and full of interesting local information, conveyed in a most agreeable style and manner, this volume.-N. Y. Independent.

than

The amount of information which this book communicates in regard to everything connected with its subject, is not only liberal, but affluent; and its details are relieved by frequent episodes of remarkable attractiveness, set forth in a lively and flowing diction.-New York Tribune.

This work has the double advantage of being interesting in itself and timely in its publication. It is an extended, reliable, and readable account of the vast empire of Brazil, published at a time when projects for a more extensive commercial intercourse with that country are attracting public attention.-Boston Tran• script.

We dismiss this book with substantial and emphatic commendation, It tells more about Brazil than any other book in the language; indeed, we are not sure that all the books on the subject can replace what is here found. Both America and Brazil are under lasting obligations to the authors for what they have done.— G. S. Hilliard, in the Boston Courier.
