THE NILE TRIBUTARIES OF ABYSSINIA, and the Sword-Hunters of the Hamran
Arabs. By _Sir Samuel W. Baker_, M.A., F.R.C.S. With Portraits, Maps, and
Illustrations. Third Edition, 8vo. 21_s_.
_Sir Samuel Baker here describes twelve months' exploration, during which
he examined the rivers that are tributary to the Nile from Abyssinia,
including the Atbara, Settite, Royan, Salaam, Angrab, Rahad, Dinder, and
the Blue Nile. The interest attached to these portions of Africa differs
entirely from that of the White Nile regions, as the whole of Upper Egypt
and Abyssinia is capable of development, and is inhabited by races having
some degree of civilization; while Central Africa is peopled by a race of
savages, whose future is more problematical_.
THE ALBERT N'YANZA Great Basin of the Nile, and Exploration of the Nile
Sources. New and cheaper Edition, with Portraits, Maps, and Illustrations.
Two vols. crown 8vo. 16_s_.
"_Bruce won the source of the Blue Nile; Speke and Grant won the Victoria
source of the great White Nile; and I have been permitted to succeed in
completing the Nile Sources by the discovery of the great reservoir of the
equatorial waters, the Albert N'yanza, from which the river issues as the
entire White Nile_."--_Preface_.
CAST UP BY THE SEA; or, The Adventures of _Ned Grey_. By _Sir Samuel W.
Baker_, M.A., F.R.G.S. Second Edition. Crown 8vo. cloth gilt, 7_s_. 6_d_.
"_A story of adventure by sea and land in the good old style. It appears
to us to be the best book of the kind since 'Masterman Ready,' and it runs
that established favourite very close._"--_Pall Mall Gazette_.
"_No book written for boys has for a long time created so much interest,
or been so successful. Every parent ought to provide his boy with a
copy._"--_Daily Telegraph_.

THE TAXATION OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. By _R. Dudley Baxter_, M.A. 8vo.
cloth, 4_s_. 6_d_.
_The First Part of this work, originally read before the Statistical
Society of London, deals with the Amount of Taxation; the Second Part,
which now constitutes the main portion of the work, is almost entirely
new, and embraces the important questions of Rating, of the relative
Taxation of Land, Personalty, and Industry, and of the direct effect of
Taxes upon Prices. The author trusts that the body of facts here collected
may be of permanent value as a record of the past progress and present
condition of the population of the United Kingdom, independently of the
transitory circumstances of its present Taxation._
NATIONAL INCOME. With Coloured Diagrams. 8vo. 3_s_. 6_d_.
_Part I._--_Classification of the Population, Upper, Middle, and Labour
Classes_. II.--_Income of the United Kingdom_.
"_A painstaking and certainly most interesting inquiry._"--_Pall Mall
Gazette_.
