On Our Selection,
By STEELE Rudd. Twentieth thousand. Cloth decorated, with manj' illustrations. Price. 6s.
The Athenmim, London, says : " It is certainly worth perusing, if only because it is entertaining. But it has other merits. Its five-and- twenty chapters depict with absolute truthfulness, as well as humour, one kind of life lived in Australia. . . . This book gives us the selector upon his selection in the bush, with his brave, rude, hearty wife ; his ragged, mischievous, hard-working children ; his hopes, and fears, and difficulties, and well-earned little triumphs. It is a volume of papers sketched with absolute truth, and with real humour."
Our Iceiu Selection.
By Steele Rudd. Tenth thousand. Cloth decorated, with many illustrations. Price, 6s.
The Evening News says: " People who are looking for amusement will find it on tap in this collection. . . . There is not a horse in the book that does not fall down a well or kick a parson or a book canvasser ; there is not a day in Dad's life in which he fails to undergo some more or less ridiculous experience ; and with it all there is a knowledge of the bush and an attention to correctness in detail in which the most super- critical bushman will fail to find a flaw."
