There is no other work in the English language, of an exhaustive or comprehensive character, upon the Philippine Islands. The patient and laborious research of the author, his copious collection of statistics, his additions to our geographical knowledge of the subject, and his sound views regarding Spanish rule and the future of the Philippine Islands, make his book one of singular merit and interest. The ethnologist, the philological scholar, the geographer, the student of the philosophical history of Colonization, the political economist, and the statesman, no less than the votary of Natural History and the acute mercantile man, will all find matter to concern them and provoke reflection in these "Travels in the Philippines"-a modest title for a book which must take its place amongst the standard monographs of topographical history. |
