John Stuart Mill · en
_WORLD._--"Full of good passages, passages abounding in
     vivacity, in the colour and play of life.... The pith of
     the book lies in its singularly fresh and vivid pictures of
     the humours of the gold-fields--tragic humours enough they
     are, too, here and again."

THE SQUATTER'S DREAM.

     _FIELD._--"The details are filled in by a hand evidently
     well conversant with his subject, and everything is
     _ben trovato_, if not actually true. A perusal of these
     cheerfully-written pages will probably give a better idea
     of realities of Australian life than could be obtained from
     many more pretentious works."

A SYDNEY-SIDE SAXON.

     _GLASGOW HERALD._--"The interest never flags, and
     altogether _A Sydney-Side Saxon_ is a really refreshing
     book."

A COLONIAL REFORMER.

     _ATHENÆUM._--"A series of natural and entertaining pictures
     of Australian life, which are, above all things, readable."

NEVERMORE.

     _OBSERVER._--"An exciting story of Ballarat in the
     'fifties. Its hero, Lance Trevanion, is a character which
     for force of delineation has no equal in Rolf Boldrewood's
     previous novels."

PLAIN LIVING. A Bush Idyll.

     _ACADEMY._--"A hearty story, deriving charm from the odours
     of the bush and the bleating of incalculable sheep."

MY RUN HOME.

     _ATHENÆUM._--"Rolf Boldrewood's last story is a
     racy volume. It has many of the best qualities of
     Whyte-Melville, the breezy freshness and vigour of Frank
     Smedley, with the dash and something of the abandon of
     Lever.... His last volume is one of his best."

THE SEALSKIN CLOAK.

     _TIMES._--"A well-written story."

THE CROOKED STICK; or, Pollie's Probation.

     _ACADEMY._--"A charming picture of Australian station life."

OLD MELBOURNE MEMORIES.

     _NATIONAL OBSERVER._--"His book deserves to be read in
     England with as much appreciation as it has already gained
     in the country of its birth."

A ROMANCE OF CANVAS TOWN, and other Stories.

     _ATHENÆUM._--"The book is interesting for its obvious
     insight into life in the Australian bush."

WAR TO THE KNIFE; or, Tangata Maori.

     _ACADEMY._-"A stirring romance."

BABES IN THE BUSH.

     _OUTLOOK._--"A lively and picturesque story."

     _DAILY TELEGRAPH._--"Bristles with thrilling incident."

IN BAD COMPANY, and other Stories.

     _DAILY NEWS._--"The best work this popular author has done
     for some time."
