... This book requires no further recommendation from as than
the analysis here given. Since the perusal of Livingstone's Africa, we
have read no traveller's journal with more instruction and pleasure. It
is eminently suggestive, too."
LEADER.
"Domenech's tone throughout is one of profound conviction; and the
hardships which he encountered, and which he relates with so much
simplicity and modesty as to enforce belief, are proof that he took his
mission to heart. In the two journeys he performed to America--journeys
that would have supplied a diffuse book-maker with matter for many
volumes, the Abbe was almost every day exposed to dangers of his
life--sometimes from the climate, sometimes from the privations to which
he was subjected, now from the rough character of the country he
constantly compelled to traverse in his spiritual journeys, anon from
the violence of colonists or Indians.... It will be seen that readers
who expect an infinity of enjoyment from these missionary adventures
will not be disappointed."
DAILY TELEGRAPH.
"The good and brave young Abbe Domenech, whose personal narrative we may
at once say we have found more readable and more informing than a dozen
volumes of ordinary adventure, is not unworthy to be named with Huc in
the annals of missionary enterprise; and we know not how to give him
higher praise.
