WHEN I WAS KING, AND OTHER VERSES.
By HENRY LAWSON.  Tenth thousand.  Cloth gilt,
gilt top, 3s. 6d.; full morocco, gilt edges, 6s.
(postage 2d.)
THE SPECTATOR: "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."

gilt top, 3s. 6d.; full morocco, gilt edges, 6s.

(postage 2d.)

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."

gilt top, 3s, 6d.; full morocco, gilt edges, 6s.

(postage 2d.)

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."

By HENRY LAWSON. Eleventh thousand. Cloth gilt,

gilt top, 3s. 6d.; full morocco, gilt eyes, 6s. 
(postage 2d.)

THE ANTHENAEUM: "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.

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."

By A. B. PATERSON. Ninth thousand, with picture 
cover (Commonwealth Series), 1s. (postage 1d.)

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 for and style it claims 
recognition as a work of considerable literary distinction."

done his work like an artist."

GODS AND WOOD THINGS.

By L. H. ALLEN. Paper boards, 1s. (postage 1d.)

SYDNEY MORNING HERALD: "Mr Allen is one of the select 
band who are saturated with classic lore and who seek to 
translate the beings of pagan mythology to the Australian 
bush. 'Gods and Wood Things' contains both prose and verse 
—the latter rhapsodical, the former mystical."

SCOTSMAN: "Charming and simple nursery tales, appetisingly 
touched with local colour of the Bush."

SCRIBBLING SUE, AND OTHER STORIES.

By AMY ELEANOR MACK. With coloured and other 
illustrations and decorated cloth cover, 3s. 6d. 
(postage 2d.)

These stories are written in the same happy vein as "Bushland 
Stories." Miss Mack's intense love of nature is reflected 
in all her books, and her readers, both young and old, are at 
once attracted by the natural ring of her work

GEM OF THE FLAT: A Story of Young Australians.

By CONSTANCE MACKNESS. With coloured and other 
illustrations and decorated cloth cover, 3s. 6d. 
(postage 2d.)

"Gem of the Flat" is a story of Australian bush children. 
The local colouring is distinctly good: the children are alive, 
and talk like real children; the incidents are natural and well 
described. The style is fresh, the dialogue well managed, and 
the story as a whole is interesting and pleasant, with a good 
tone about it.

DOT AND THE KANGAROO.

By ETHEL C. PEDLEY. Illustrated by F. P. Mahony.

Third edition, with decorated cloth cover, 2s. 6d. 
(postage 2d.)

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."

(postage 6d.) 

SYDNEY MORNING HERALD: "No man ever entered on a

better fight with his fellow citizens, with the Governors, with

the British Government, with the scientists, with the judicial

authorities, indeed with almost every authority that was there

to be fought, than John Macarthur when he undertook singlehanded

the great fight which finally established the wool

industry in Australia."

LIFE OF CAPTAIN MATTHEW FLINDERS, RN.

By ERNEST SCOTT, Professor of History in the University

of Melbourne, author of "Terre Napoléon,"

etc. With numerous portraits, maps, manuscripts

in facsimile, etc. Cloth gilt, 21s. (postage 6d.)  

THE BULLETIN: "Will take its place as one of the great biographies

in our language. The inexplicable facts that hitherto

no full biography of the first man to circumnavigate Australia

has appeared is also a fortunate fact. Flinders has waited a

century for his biographer, and it was worth this silence of

a hundred years to find Ernest Scott.... And to this

fervor of research must be added Ernest Scott's lucid literary

style and his interest in the personal side of his subject.

Equipment, style, sympathy, and his subject combine to make

a brilliant achievement in biography . . . . A word must

in mere justice be added in praise of the publishers. The

appearance of the book is worthy of its contents."
