NEW BOOKS AND NEW EDITIONS
STORIES OF OLD SYDNEY.
Sydney Morning Herald: "A charming and interesting little book…they live and breathe, and he has contrived to make actual to us those remote and almost incredible days…Mr. Smith's admirable illustrations are an equally important feature of the book, which, in addition to its interest, presents a great antiquarian value."
A POPULAR GUIDE TO THE WILD FLOWERS OF NEW SOUTH WALES.
This book deals with the most typical and popular representatives of nine families of plants found in the Central Coast District and on the Dividing Range. Each genus, as well as its principal species, found within that area is described fully, and about 100 specimens are illustrated. There is also an illustrated glossary of the few necessary botanical terms used, and the whole plan of the book is so simple that the plants described can be identified at sight. It will be found indispensable to teachers, students and bush-lovers generally.
THE MOTHER STATE:
The Physical Features, Natural Resources. Geology, Scenery, Climate, Industries and Commerce of New South Wales.
This is the only up-to-date general description of New South Wales, and it should find a place in every home in the State. No more concise and reliable book is available for sending to friends abroad, as all the information is drawn from latest authentic sources. The illustrations and maps add largely to the book's interest and value. (See also page 25.)
LIFE OF LAPÉROUSE.
The French nation has had no greater sailor than Lapérouse, and no better choice could have been made when Louis XVI. selected this disciple and ardent admirer of the great Captain Cook to conduct an enterprise in the Pacific. The story of Lapérouse's splendid work as an explorer, and his close association with Australia, render this one of the most important contributions to our history, while the noble character of the man gives the book special value for presentation purposes. The illustrations are from authentic sources and are very interesting.
THE STATE AND FEDERAL CONSTITUTIONS OF AUSTRALIA.
CHRISTOPHER COCKLE'S AUSTRALIAN EXPERIENCES.
Originally published under the title "Australian Capers," this volume has been out of print for many years, and copies which have come into the market secondhand have been purchased at enhanced prices. The author has at last consented to its republication and has thoroughly revised it. As a picture of Australian life thirty or forty years ago the book is worthy of a permanent place in our literature, and it contains plenty of fun and humour for both old and young.
NEW EDITIONS
WHERE THE DEAD MEN LIE AND OTHER POEMS.
J. Brunton Stephens, in The Bulletin: "Boake's work is often praised for its local colour; but it has something better than that. It has atmosphere―Australian atmosphere, that makes you feel the air of the place breathe the breath of the life."
Sydney Morning Herald: "There is no question, can be none, of the intimate faithfulness of every touch that gives us landscape, atmosphere."
Daily Telegraph: "An essential publication, full of human interest."
Australasian: "There is enough merit in these remains to show that Boake was, to say the least, a writer of promise, and to make us regret that his life was cut short in so sad and untimely a manner."
THE POETICAL WORKS OF BRUNTON STEPHENS.
See also Commonwealth Series, page 12.
The Times: "This collection of the works of the Queensland poet, who has for a generation deservedly held a high place in Australian literature, well deserves study."
Daily News: "In turning over the pages of this volume, one is struck by his breadth, his versatility, his compass, as evidenced in theme, sentiment, and style."
The Athenaeum: "Brunton Stephens…well known to all those who are curious in Australian literature, as being, on the whole, the best of Australian poets."
Sydney Morning Herald: "This new edition will not only do honour to his memory, but will make his work known to many to whom he has previously been little more than a name."
THE GOLDEN TREASURY OF AUSTRALIAN VERSE.
Argus: "It is a vast improvement on its predecessor. Certain copyright restrictions have been removed, and Mr. Stevens has been allowed to help himself to some excellent work which was inaccessible to him three years ago…Mr. Stevens has shown himself once more a man of excellent taste and discrimination, and has laid lovers of poetry who also love Australia under a heavy obligation to him for this most pleasant book."
London: Macmillan & Co., Limited.
FAIR GIRLS AND GRAY HORSES, WITH OTHER VERSES.
Scotsman: "Its verses draw their natural inspiration from the camp, the cattle trail, and the bush; and their most characteristic and compelling rhythms from the clatter of horses' hoofs."
Spectator: "Nothing could be better than his bush ballads, and he writes of horses with the fervour of Lindsay Gordon."
HEARTS OF GOLD, AND OTHER VERSES.
Daily Telegraph: "Will be welcomed by all who love the stirring music and strong masculine feeling of this poet's verse. Mr. Ogilvie has gone back to Scotland, but his verse written in Australia lives still, and is not forgotten when the camp fires are burning."
AUSTRALIAN VERSE
THE MAN FROM SNOWY RIVER, AND OTHER VERSES.
The Literary Year Book: "The immediate success of this book of bush ballads is without parallel in Colonial literary annals, nor can any living English or American poet boast so wide a public, always excepting Mr. Rudyard Kipling."
Athenaeum: "Swinging, rattling ballads of ready humour, ready pathos, and crowding adventure.…Stirring and entertaining ballads about great rides, in which the lines gallop like the very hoofs of the horses."
The Times: "At his best he compares not unfavourably with the author of 'Barrack-Room Ballads.'"
London: Macmillan and Co., Limited.
RIO GRANDE'S LAST RACE, AND OTHER VERSES.
Spectator: "There is no mistaking the vigour of Mr. Paterson's verse; there is no difficulty in feeling the strong human interest which moves in it."
Bookman: "Now and again a deeper theme, like an echo from the older, more experienced land, leads him to more serious singing, and proves that real poetry is, after all, universal. It is a hearty book."
London: Macmillan and Co., Limited.
THE SECRET KEY, AND OTHER VERSES.
Glasgow Herald: "There is…the breath of that apparently immortal spirit which has inspired…almost all that is best in English higher song."
The Bookman: "Mr. Evans has written many charming and musical poems,…many pretty and haunting lines."
WINE AND ROSES: A New Volume of Poems.
Daily Telegraph: ''Most of his verse is tinged with sadness―as in most Irish poetry―but there is a fine imaginative quality that lifts it to a far higher plane than that of the conventional melancholy rhymer. There are poems in this book that recall the magic of Rossetti..,.Victor Daley has left his mark in the beginnings of an Australian literature.''
AT DAWN AND DUSK: POEMS.
Bookman: ''These verses are full of poetic fancy musically expressed.''
Sydney Morning Herald: ''The indefinable charm is here, and the spell, and the music.…A distinct advance for Australian verse in ideality, in grace and polish, in the study of the rarer forms of verse, and in the true faculty of poetic feeling and expression.''
Bulletin: ''Open this book where you will, you are caught at once into a land of dreams.''
HOW HE DIED, AND OTHER POEMS.
Melbourne Age: "Farrell's contributions to the literature of this country were always distinguished by a fine, stirring optimism, a genuine sympathy, and an idealistic sentiment which in the book under notice find their fullest expression."
New Zealand Mail: "Of the part of Mr. Farrell's work contained in this volume it is not necessary to say more than that it has long since received sincere commendation, not only from other Australian writers, but from men eminent in letters in England and America."
WHEN THE WORLD WAS WIDE, AND OTHER VERSES.
The Academy: "These ballads (for such they mostly are) abound in spirit and manhood, in the colour and smell of Australian soil. They deserve the popularity which they have won in Australia, and which, we trust, this edition will now give them in England."
The Speaker: "There are poems in 'In the Days When the World was Wide' which are of a higher mood than any yet heard in distinctively Australian poetry."
VERSES, POPULAR AND HUMOROUS.
For cheaper edition see Commonwealth Series, page 12.
New York Journal: "Such pride as a man feels when he has true greatness as his guest, this newspaper feels in introducing to a million readers a man of ability hitherto unknown to them. Henry Lawson is his name."
WHEN I WAS KING, AND OTHER VERSES.
Also in two parts, entitled "When I Was King" and "The Elder Son." See page 12.
Spectator (London): "A good deal of humour, a great deal of spirit, and a robust philosophy are the main characteristics of these Australian poets. Because they write of a world they know, and of feelings they have themselves shared in, they are far nearer the heart of poetry than the most accomplished devotees of a literary tradition."
AUSTRALIAN STORIES
For cheaper edition see Commonwealth Series, page 12.
The Academy: "A book of honest, direct, sympathetic, humorous writing about Australia from within is worth a library of travellers' tales…The result is a real book―a book in a hundred. His language is terse, supple, and richly idiomatic. He can tell a yarn with the best."
ON THE TRACK AND OVER THE SLIPRAILS.
For cheaper edition see Commonwealth Series, page 12.
Daily Chronicle: "Will well sustain the reputation its author has already won as the best writer of Australian short stories and sketches the literary world knows."
Pall Mall Gazette: "The volume now received will do much to enhance the author's reputation. There is all the quiet irresistible humour of Dickens in the description of 'The Darling River,' and the creator of 'Truthful James' never did anything better in the way of character sketches than Steelman and Mitchell."
CHILDREN OF THE BUSH.
Also in two parts, entitled "Send Round the Hat" and "The Romance of the Swag." See page 12.
Daily Telegraph: "These stories are for the most part episodes which appear to have been taken direct from life.…and Mr. Lawson contrives to make them wonderfully vivid…Mr. Lawson's new stories are as good as his old ones, and higher praise they could not get."
The Bulletin: "These stories are the real Australia, written by the foremost living Australian author…Lawson's genius remains as vivid and human as when he first boiled his literary billy."
JOE WILSON AND HIS MATES.
For cheaper edition see Commonwealth Series, page 12.
The Athenaeum (London): "This is a long way the best work Mr. Lawson has yet given us. These stories are so good that (from the literary point of view of course) one hopes they are not autobiographical. As autobiography they would be good, as pure fiction they are more of an attainment."
London: Wm. Blackwood & Sons.
THE RISING OF THE COURT, AND OTHER SKETCHES IN PROSE AND VERSE.
Queensland Times: "These stories show Lawson at his best, and Lawson at his best is not to be beaten by short story writers in current literature."
Weekly Press (Christchurch): "No one else could have written these sketches. Lawson has so much feeling and so much humour."
AN OUTBACK MARRIAGE: A Story of Australian Life.
Scotsman: "The chief virtue of the book lies in its fresh and vivid presentment of the wild life and the picturesque manners of the Australian bush, while in form and style it claims recognition as a work of considerable literary distinction."
Pall Mall Gazette: "The whole tone of the book is fresh and breezy…Altogether, this is a distinctly interesting story."
Glasgow Herald: "…will stand comparison with works of fiction produced in any part of the English-speaking world."

SPECIAL AUSTRALIAN EDITIONS
THE PRAYER BOOK DICTIONARY.
"The Prayer Book Dictionary" deals with the origins, history, use and teaching of the several editions of the Book of Common Prayer within the Anglican communion. Every endeavour has been made to give information under the titles most likely to be referred to, Prayer Book terms being uniformly preferred. Where it has been necessary to collect material in longer articles, cross references direct the reader to the subsidiary topics included. A comprehensive Table of Subjects in Prayer Book order serves, moreover, as a Subject Index, and at the end of each article reference is made to the section of this Table where kindred topics are mentioned with their authors. Thus the full resources of the Dictionary under any head can be readily unlocked.
London: Sir Isaac Pitman & Sons.
LAURENCE HOPE'S LOVE LYRICS.
The Garden of Kama.
Daily Chronicle: "No one has so truly interpreted the Indian mind―no one, transcribing Indian thought into our literature, has retained so high and serious a level, and quite apart from the rarity of themes and setting―the verses remain―true poems."
Stars of the Desert.
Outlook: "It is not merely that these verses describe Oriental scenes and describe them with vividness, there is a feeling in the rhythm―a timbre of the words that seems akin to the sand and palm-trees and the changeless East."
Indian Love.
Spectator: "The poetry of Laurence Hope must hold a unique place in modern letters. No woman has written lines so full of a strange primeval savagery―a haunting music―the living force of poetry."
London: Willlam Heinemann.
MISCELLANEOUS
A BUSH CALENDAR.
Selborne Magazine: "It is with a pleasing sense of surprise that we read Mrs. Harrison's brightly-written studies of Nature as she is seen by the seeing eye."
Literary World: "A pleasant little book…There is much to interest those who have no personal knowledge of the antipodes…and to those who know the country, the vivid descriptions will bring back many happy recollections."
BUSH DAYS.
T. P.'s Weekly (London): "A delightful book of descriptive studies in nature."
Bookseller (London): "Utterly delightful in every sense of the word."
Book Lover: "A succession of memories of happy times with nature."
Sydney Morning Herald: "Deals with many aspects of outdoor life, and that fascinating inner heart of it, the hidden life of the bush."
BUSHLAND STORIES.
Academy: "It is not often that we have the pleasure to welcome from Australia a book of so many charming short stories as are contained in the volume before us."
Scotsman: "Charming and simple nursery tales, appetisingly touched with local colour of the Bush."
Birmingham Daily Post: "There is a daintiness and distinct charm in these fairy tales."
THE AUSTRALIAN BIRTHDAY BOOK.
Sydney Morning Herald: "The poetical quotations form a choice anthology of Australian verse…The book should have a special claim for Australian use."
Daily Telegraph: "A dainty little volume…The selections have been carefully made, and the little book is a collection of poetic flowers of the soil as well as an autograph album."
Sydney Morning Herald: "'Dot and the Kangaroo' is without doubt one of the most charming books that could be put into the hands of a child. It is admirably illustrated by Frank P. Mahony, who seems to have entered thoroughly into the animal world of Australia. The story is altogether Australian.…It is told so simply, and yet so artistically, that even the 'grown-ups' amongst us must enjoy it."
HISTORY OF AUSTRALIAN BUSHRANGING.
Year Book of Australia: "The bushrangers have long since left the stage of Australian history, but their evil deeds live after them, and are likely to do so for many years to come. Having collected all the published details relating to the career of the Tasmanian as well as the Australian gangs, Mr. White has reduced them to a very readable narrative, which may fairly be termed a history. In this shape it forms a valuable contribution to the general history of the country, especially as a picture of social life in the past."
TO-MORROW:
A Dramatic Sketch of the Character and Environment of Robert Greene.
Sydney Morning Herald: "Must be pronounced the first Australian play of literary worth."
Glasgow Herald: "In this very clever dramatic sketch Mr. Brereton has given evidence of the possession of a true capacity for play-writing."
The Nation (London): "A remarkable and genuinely poetic play."
THE OLD BUSH SONGS.
Daily Telegraph: "Rude and rugged these old bush songs are, but they carry in their vigorous lines the very impress of their origin and of their genuineness…Mr. Paterson has done his work like an artist."}}
COOKERY BOOK OF GOOD AND TRIED RECEIPTS.
Compiled for the Presbyterian Women's Missionary Association.
Extract from Preface: "The young and inexperienced housekeeper need have no fear of failure provided she follows carefully the directions given, as the aim of this book has always been, not only to provide wholesome and economical receipes for capable housewives, but to help those who have not had the benefit of maternal guidance and home training. It is significant that many discerning women have made a habit of giving a copy of the 'Presbyterian Cookery Book' to every new bride of their acquaintance."
THE ANNOTATED CONSTITUTION OF THE AUSTRALIAN COMMONWEALTH.
The Times: "A monument of industry."
THE LAW OF LANDLORD AND TENANT IN NEW SOUTH WALES.
Sydney Morning Herald: "A valuable contribution to legal literature."
THE JUSTICES' MANUAL AND POLICE GUIDE.
A Synopsis of offences punishable by indictment and on summary conviction, definitions of crimes, meanings of legal phrases, hints on evidence, procedure. police duties, &c., in New South Wales.
Sydney Morning Herald, reviewing the second edition (1906): "Justices of the Peace and others concerned in the administration of the law will find the value of this admirably-arranged work…We had nothing but praise for the first edition, and the second edition is better than the first."

CHAMBERS'S GOVERNMENT HAND COPY BOOK.
The letters are continuously joined to each other, so that the pupil need not lift the pen from the beginning to the end of each word. The spaces between the letters are wide, each letter thus standing out boldly and distinctly by itself. The slope is gentle, but sufficient to prevent the pupil from acquiring a back hand. The curves are well rounded, checking the tendency to too great angularity.
