Abstract
THE two first volumes of this work were noticed in NATURE, vol. li. p. 388, and the general remarks made there apply in great measure to the new volume also. We must, however, observe that the highlands of Peru afford material for a much more interesting description than the coast and the capital, which were dealt with in somewhat wearisome detail. Here the narrative form is not unwelcome, for there is always a charm in the record of travel in the Cordillera, even upon the beaten tracks.
