Life -- Origin; Spontaneous generation
_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._

Nile Sources. New and Cheaper Edition, with Portraits, Maps, and

“_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.

*Barker (Lady).*--STATION LIFE IN NEW ZEALAND. By LADY BARKER. Second
and Cheaper Edition. Globe 8vo. 3_s._ 6_d._
“_These letters are the exact account of a lady’s experience of the
brighter and less practical side of colonization. They record the
expeditions, adventures, and emergencies diversifying the daily life of
the wife of a New Zealand sheep-farmer; and, as each was written while
the novelty and excitement of the scenes it describes were fresh upon
her, they may succeed in giving here in England an adequate impression
of the delight and freedom of an existence so far removed from our own
highly-wrought civilization._”--PREFACE.
“_We have never read a more truthful or a pleasanter little book._”

*Baxter (R. Dudley, M.A.).*--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._
