"His pages breathe the poetry of travel, the romance of Sir John Mandeville, tempered by the moderation of scientific research. This is a very model of a travel book, and the author is to be congratulated on a result that will insure a wide public for the promised sequel."—The World, London, England."The book is beyond question the most valuable of all the books on South America which has appeared. It is as interesting as a novel, full of entertaining anecdote and of real value to the student. It contains some maps and excellent illustrations from photographs."—The Call, San Francisco, Cal."This is a remarkably interesting book, leading us through a region little known to the majority of English travelers, and possessing, in consequence, that charm of novelty in which works of the same description are occasionally deficient."—The Standard, London, England."The reader will find this trip with the author, "Up the Orinoco and Down the Magdalena," as agreeable and instructive as a personally conducted visit to the heart of the Andes."—Evening Transcript, Boston, Mass."This volume, remarkable alike for its instructive qualities and the excellent composition, will open a vista of delight to the reader who relishes travel."—The News, Charleston, S. C."Dr. Mozans sees the country with the trained and experienced eye of a world traveler and with the well stocked mind of the lover of literature. The past is linked with the present, the unknown with the known, and poetically appreciated in a way that is most delightful."—The Tribune, Chicago, Ill."The author, a traveler of many years of experience, who has explored strange corners of the globe in every zone, combines with accurate observation and a facile power of description a knowledge of history that enables him to illuminate his work with something of the romance that attaches to the tales of the conquistadores in whose trail he followed on this journey. The resulting book is one that gives the reader a complete new set of impressions and ideas concerning Venezuela and Columbia and the great rivers that water these still unsettled lands."—TheTimes Star, Cincinnati, Ohio."Not since the appearance of Humboldt's "Personal Narrative of Travels in the Equinoctial Regions of America" has the fertile and romantic region ofTierra Firma—the scene of the exploits of some of this most illustrious of theConquistadores—been so fully and so vividly described as by Doctor Mozans in his instructive and fascinating volume "Up the Orinoco and Down the Magdalena.""—Bulletin of the Pan-American Union.

"It was a great project and a grand journey, but we do not recall any writer who could describe it so delightfully as Dr. Mozans. He has not only an irresistible literary charm, but he is so saturated with knowledge of what he writes about that all he writes has an irresistible interest."—The Herald, Glasgow, Scotland."Readers of Dr. Mozans' book have been impressed by the remarkable, almost amazing, erudition shown in it. It has also a modernity that is unusual in scholarly persons. Dr. Mozans seems to have been everywhere and studied everything. His especial interest in life has been thoroughly to acquaint himself with the history, antiquities and people, past and present, of northern South America."—The Literary Digest, New York City."Dr. Mozans writes English after our own style, and has a point of view half philosophical and half poetic. He is highly sensitive to the mystery of the dead civilizations of the Andean plateaux, as well as to the abounding life of the modern States, and the book generally is the pleasantest account of South America we have encountered for a considerable time."—The Standard, London, England."To read his book is not only to travel with him to strange places but also to be steeped in good literature."—The Record-Herald, Chicago, Ill."Great learning is often allied with great simplicity. It is so in the case of Dr. Mozans. He is bubbling over with information about the achievements of the Spanish conquistadores and the subsequent history of the lands over which they established their sway."—The Field, London, England."Whether Dr. Mozans' volume is resorted to for solid information or mere entertainment it will well repay the reading."—TheNew York Times."A book which every traveler to South America, especially every traveler to the west coast of the continent, will wish to have in his handbag."—Bulletin of the Pan-American Union."This is a delightful book from every standpoint."—Ex-President Roosevelt, in the Introduction to Dr. Mozans' book."Like the well-known works of Waterton and Humboldt on South America, the two books by Dr. Mozans are sure to have a permanent value and to be recognized as soon as known, as authorities on the countless subjects discussed in their illuminating pages with such fairness and scholarship."—The Freeman's Journal, New York City.
