It is a lucid, practical demonstration from beginning to end. The writer is not only entirely master of his subject, but he has unfolded it in the most scientific, and, we would add, logical manner. He has displayed so marked a precision in his exposition, that the dullest capacity may at once comprehend his meaning and the drift of his argument."-ATLAS.

"Sir William Harris has produced a work of extraordinary interest and value; a narrative which will take a permanent place in the library, as the best authority ever yet given to the world on all the subjects to which it relates. It has, moreover, for present readers, the charm of perfect freshness and novelty. The writer's inquiries extend to the minutest particulars of the habits, manners, customs, political and social economy of the people, among whom he was a welcomed visitor. He makes research into their history, sketches the geography, natural history, and botany of the country, and, in brief, leaves no subject unexplored that could add to the completeness of the picture he has undertaken to paint; and most vividly does his graphic touch summon before the mind's eye of his readers the scenes he has witnessed."-FOREIGN AND COLONIAL REVIEW.

"We have been much struck by a work recently published, by Professor Kane, on the Industrial Resources of Ireland.

Nothing can leave a stronger impression of the mismanagement from which Ireland has suffered than Dr. Kane's clear and business-like statement of the elements of wealth and power which have so long lain almost idle in her possession."-MORNING CHRONICLE. |
