Walk Across South America is of thrilling interest, and filled with geographical and ethnological data and descriptions of the flora and fauna of the countries he traversed. His interest in natural history was the incentive for making this unusual journey, and he brought home with him a rare collection. He also wrote the Voyage of a Paper Canoe, from Quebec to New Orleans, via the Hudson River and Atlantic Waterways, and Four Months in a Sneak Box, both records of personal experience.

Traversing this had been the Middlesex canal, but this had been discontinued in the preceding year. Mr. Smith was a man of much public spirit and enterprise, and had planned here a suburban village to be called Brooklands, with numer
