A description of remains discovered in the sites of ancient cities and temples in Peru, those objects which arrested the attention and excited the wonder of the philosophic Humboldt, when investigating the physical features of that remarkable country. The illustratíve plates, executed at Vienna, from the drawings of the artist, are among the marvels of lithography. They comprise representations of mummified bodies, prepared in the manner peculiar to the Peruvians, vases of grotesque form and characteristic idols in terra cotta and the precious metals, textile fabrics, weapons of a very remote period, and view of temples and buildings, which, for symmetry and beauty, may vie with those of Greece and Asia Minor in the dawn of civilisation, all executed with a spirit and truthfulness unsurpassed by any work of the kind that has come under our notice.-Literary Gazette, Jan. 8, 1853. 3333 M'KENNY and Hall's History of the Indian Tribes of North America, with Biographical Sketches and Anecdotes of the principal Chiefs, 3 vols, imperial folio, with 120 large and beautifully coloured portraits of the Chiefs of the Aboriginal Tribes, from Paintings in the Indian Gallery at Washington.
