=Queenslander:= "A story told in a dainty style that makes it attractive to all. It is fresh, bright, and cheery, and well worth a place on any Australian bookshelf."

BY ARTHUR W. JOSE, Author of "A Short History of Australasia."

Second Edition. With 14 Maps. Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 5s.

(_post free, 5s. 6d._).

=Morning Post:= "This book is published in Sydney, but it deserves to be circulated throughout the United Kingdom. The picture of the fas.h.i.+on in which British enterprise made its way from settlement to settlement has never been drawn more vividly than in these pages. Mr. Jose's style is crisp and pleasant, now and then even rising to eloquence on his grand theme. His book deserves wide popularity, and it has the rare merit of being so written as to be attractive alike to the young student and to the mature man of letters."

=Literature:= "He has studied thoroughly, and writes vigorously....

Admirably done.... We commend it to Britons the world over."

=Sat.u.r.day Review:= "He writes Imperially; he also often writes sympathetically.... We cannot close Mr. Jose's creditable account of our misdoings without a glow of national pride."

=Yorks.h.i.+re Post:= "A brighter short history we do not know, and this book deserves for the matter and the manner of it to be as well known as Mr. McCarthy's 'History of Our Own Times.'"

=The Scotsman:= "This admirable work is a solid octavo of more than 400 pages. It is a thoughtful, well written, and well-arranged history.

There are fourteen excellent maps to ill.u.s.trate the text."

HISTORY OF AUSTRALASIA.

From the Earliest Times to the Inauguration of the Commonwealth.

BY ARTHUR W. JOSE, Author of "The Growth of the Empire."

The chapter on Federation revised by R. R. Garran, C.M.G.

With 6 maps and 64 portraits and ill.u.s.trations. Crown 8vo, cloth, 1s. 6d. (_post free 1s. 10d._). _For Cheaper Edition see Commonwealth Series, page 2._

=The Book Lover:= "The ignorance of the average Australian youth about the brief history of his native land is often deplorable.... 'A Short History of Australasia,' by Arthur W. Jose, just provides the thing wanted. Mr. Jose's previous historical work was most favourably received in England, and this story of our land is capitally done. It is not too long, and it is brightly written. Its value is considerably enhanced by the useful maps and interesting ill.u.s.trations. A very good book to give to a boy."

=Victorian Education Gazette:= "The language is graphic and simple, and there is much evidence of careful work and acquaintance with original doc.u.ments, which give the reader confidence in the accuracy of the details. The low price of the book leaves young Australia no excuse for remaining in ignorance of the history of their native land."

=Town and Country Journal:= "His language is graphic and simple, and he has maintained the unity and continuity of the story of events despite the necessity of following the subject along the seven branches corresponding with the seven separate colonies."

THE GEOLOGY OF SYDNEY AND THE BLUE MOUNTAINS.

A Popular Introduction to the Study of Australian Geology.

BY REV. J. MILNE CURRAN, Lecturer in Chemistry and Geology, Technical College, Sydney.

Second Edition. With a Glossary of Scientific terms, a Reference List of commonly-occurring Fossils, 2 coloured maps, and 83 ill.u.s.trations. Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 6s.

(_post free, 6s. 6d._)

=Nature:= "This is, strictly speaking, an elementary manual of geology.

The general plan of the work is good; the book is well printed and ill.u.s.trated with maps, photographic pictures of rock structure and scenery, and figures of fossils and rock sections."

=Sat.u.r.day Review:= "His style is animated and inspiring, or clear and precise, as occasion demands. The people of Sydney are to be congratulated on the existence of such a guide to their beautiful country."

=Literary World:= "We can heartily recommend the book as a very interesting one, written in a much more readable style than is usual in works of this kind."

=South Australian Register:= "Mr. Curran has extracted a charming narrative of the earth's history out of the prosaic stone. Though he has selected Sydney rocks for his text, his discourse is interestingly Australian."
