Abstract
WE took up this book with little expectation of finding much in it either edifying or interesting, and have been most agreeably disappointed. The author, in one of Her Majesty's ships, touched at various places on the east and west coasts of South America, and although most of the ground has already been gone over, he has the faculty of seeing and describing the already known under new aspects. He also visited Mexico, California, and the Yosemite region. From beginning to end the narrative is thoroughly entertaining, and even those who are well read in American travel will find that Sir Rose Price is able to tell them much that is new.
