Excerpt from Cameos From the Silver-Land, or the Experiences of a Young Naturalist in the Argentine Republic, Vol. 2 of 2 The second volume of the Cameos, now before the public, has been delayed many months beyond the appointed time, simply owing to the difficulties connected with the printing which has been done in Bucnos Aires. As its title indicates, the work makes no pre tensions to be statistic, although wherever numeri cal data occur they may be relied on, but consists solely of a portrayal of the successive pictures pre sented to the Emind's eye of a very young man, during his toilsome wanderings over the vast and varied territories therein described; and as such, the author leaves it with his countrymen at home.
