N A TU R E—" This journal, which now sees the .light after varying
-vicissitudes, will take fitting place on our book-shelves by the side of
Darwin’s ‘ Voyage of the Beagle’ and M oseleyV1 Challenger Notes’ as
one of the Classics of scientific travel. Sir Joseph Hooker, in realising a
hope he has indulged, as he tells us, since he was a boy, adds another to
the many services he has rendered to science by presenting to us this
journal in the delightful form it has assumed under his editing. . . . As
a narrative the journal is full of charm. It comes before us, old as it is,
with all the freshness of a first impression.’’ ■
D A IL Y CHRONICLE.— '“ This journal— and we only wish- we had
:more space to quote from it— belongs' to that class of literature which
-never grows old or out of fashion, but will retain a human as well as a
-scientific intérest to the end of time.”
STANDARD.— 1 The diary will have a permanent interest because
■of the vivid picture it draws of regions which hitherto civilised races
-either had not visited, or, at any rate, had not stayed long enough to
■influence.”
. TIMES.— “ P r o b a b l y m a n y will be grateful to Sir Joseph Hooker for
-affording them an excuse to re-read the story in the rich and interesting
¡pages of Sir Joseph Banks’ journal.”
MORNING P O S T - - “ The editor of this .volume has performed his
-work in a manner that calls for high commendation. By judicious
selection he has produced a work that will be widely appreciated as an
-absorbing book of travels, and will also have a peculiar attraction for all
rwho concern themselves with the progress of scientific investigation.
L E E D S MERCURY.— “ This book is as interesting as any recent
-work of travel which we have encountered, and it throws light, often of
an unexpected kind, on the incidents and progress of early exploration
in the Pacific.”
A TH EN AS UM.—“ Naturalists and literary men have now to thank Sir
Joseph Hooker, the grandson of Mr. Dawson Turner, for rescuing this
most interesting record from oblivion, and for enabling us to place it side
by side with Cook's own journal.”
