Sub-tropical rambles in the land of the Aphanapteryx;: Personal experiences, adventures, and wanderings in and around the island of Mauritius (The Black heritage library collection)

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.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
