he other is a study that extends beneath the surface。〃 … Captain Mayne Reid。 〃Regarded simply as a piece of adventure； this were interesting； especially when told of in a tone of delightful modesty。 But the book has other recommendations。 This boy has an admirable eye for manners； customs； costumes； &c。； to say nothing of his attention to natural history。 The reader seems to travel by his side； and concludes the book with a sense of having himself trodden the Pampas； and mingled with their barbarous inhabitants。 So far as writing goes； this is the supreme merit of a book of travels。 Let those explore who not only see for themselves； but have the rare ability to lend their eyes to others。 Mr。 Bishop is one of the few who can do this； the graphic simplicity of his narrative is above praise。 Meanwhile； his personal impression is very charming。 The quiet patience with which he accepted all the hardships of his position without the slightest parade of patience； however is beyond measure attractive。 But the brave youth goes on quietly enduring what was to be borne； and not ever allowing his observation to be dulled by the infelicities of his situation。〃 Boston Commonwealth BOSTON： LEE & SHEPARD。 NEW YORK： CHARLES T。 DILLINGHAM。
