'A popular work which was reprinted several times and translated into many languages..
Its vivid descriptions and philosophical disquisitions on aboriginal society captivated
the literary world, while the outbreak of the American war lent the book pertinent
public interest and rendered it more popular than either of the author's previous
works' (Cox II, p.150). - A very attractive set.
