Her disposition was of the sweetest description, and fully justified the lavishment of the fond parental affection with which she was blessed; while her amiability was only equalled by her dutiful attention and consideration of the smallest wish of her kind and doating parent.
I own I felt somewhat relieved when, on looking round, not a sail of any description was to be seen, and the schooner was still bowling along with a brisk breeze on a westerly course. Towards evening we sighted land, towards which our course was altered.
Sailing farther to the eastward, Tasman came out into the open sea again, and thus appeared to prove that the newly discovered land was not connected with the great unknown continent round the south pole. But he soon came across land which might possibly answer to that description, and he called it Staaten Land, in honour of the States-General of the Netherlands.
I sketched on the spot these organs, which are imperfectly known to anatomists, and published the description of them on my return to Europe. In both names we easily discover the same root. The v has been transformed into g and n.

The water of this river is most excellent; the soil is also of the first description; and the grass, although dry, most abundant, from two to five feet high. This is certainly the finest country I have seen in Australia. We passed three rocky hills yesterday, not high, but having grass up to their tops, round which the river winds at their base, forming large and long reaches of water.
Irregular features are condemned in beauty. Beautiful figure, they could say.
