rom the "King of
Island Rivers."

We have traced the bountiful river from the bubbling well out of
which it issues, in the meadow by Trewsbury Mead--its lonely
birthplace--through its whole course, gathering tributaries, and
passing with them through tranquil villages, populous towns, and
crowded cities; ever fertilizing, ever beautifying, ever enriching,
until it reaches the most populous city of the modern or the ancient
world, forming thence the great highway by which a hundred nations
traverse the globe. Aided by several accomplished artists, we have
largely illustrated this volume, not only by engravings of its
picturesque scenery, but by introducing the various objects of
interest that are found upon its banks.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

"It is a book to endear to us our native England, and, produced with
all the elegance of the printer's and the binder's art, will richly
adorn the drawing-room table."--_Daily News._

"It is by far the pleasantest book, certainly the most complete in
design and execution, that has been published about the Thames for
many years, and we can easily understand that in writing it the
authors performed 'a labour of love.'"--_Morning Post._

"This is one of the best in appearance of the ornamental works of the
season ... the binding and the typography are excellent, and the style
lively, superficial, and showy."--_John Bull._

"A faithful as well as an agreeable guide to whatever of interest
occurs along the entire course of the river. In short, it is a
pleasant, well-written, and very handsome book on the pleasantest
river an author could have to write about."--_Literary Gazette._
