The pkesent volume of Sub-tropical Eambles is made up from notes taken on my voyage from America to Mauritius; information gained in the latter wherever possible ;and my own experience during the years I have resided in it. The Gem of the Ocean is, in reality, but Httle known to the world at large. Small as it is, only a dot in a vast ocean, it is, or at least might be made, one of the most fertile and productive of the English Colonies. I ts mountain scenery is grand, and its singularly formed rugged peaks supply an endless fund for reflection. Nowhere is the stone-book of Nature more widely opened, so that he who runneth may read. I ts waterfalls, itii caverns, its wild forest lands, must ever be sources of pleasure to all who choose to seek for them.
