JOE WILSON AND HIS MATES.
BY HENRY LAWSON, Author of “While the Billy Boils;” “When the World
was Wide and Other Verses;” “Verses, Popular and Humorous;” “On the
Track and Over the Sliprails.”
Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d. (_post free 4s._), in paper covers,
2s. 6d. (_post free 3s._).
=The Athenæum= (London): “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.”
=Pall Mall Gazette:= “We can see in these rough diamonds the men who
have of late so distinguished themselves at Eland’s River and
elsewhere.”
=The Argus:= “More tales of the Joe Wilson series are promised, and this
will be gratifying to Mr. Lawson’s admirers, for on the whole the
sketches are the best work the writer has so far accomplished.”
=The Academy:=--“I have never read anything in modern English literature
that is so absolutely democratic in tone, so much the real thing, as
_Joe Wilson’s Courtship_. And so with all Lawson’s tales and sketches.
Tolstoy and Howells, and Whitman and Kipling, and Zola and Hauptmann and
Gorky have all written descriptions of ‘democratic’ life; but none of
these celebrated authors, not even Maupassant himself, has so absolutely
taken us inside the life as do the tales _Joe Wilson’s Courtship_ and _A
Double Buggy at Lahey’s Creek_, and it is this rare convincing tone of
this Australian writer that gives him a great value. The most casual
‘newspapery’ and apparently artless art of this Australian writer
carries with it a truer, finer, more delicate commentary on life than
all the idealistic works of any of our genteel school of writers.”
* * * * *
VERSES: POPULAR AND HUMOROUS.
By HENRY LAWSON, Author of “When the World was Wide, and Other
Verses,” “Joe Wilson and His Mates,” “On the Track and Over the
Sliprails,” and “While the Billy Boils.”
Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d. (_post free 4s._).
_For Cheaper Edition see Commonwealth Series, page 2._
FRANCIS THOMPSON, in =The Daily Chronicle=: “He is a writer of strong
and ringing ballad verse, who gets his blows straight in, and at his
best makes them all tell. He can vignette the life he knows in a few
touches, and in this book shows an increased power of selection.”
=Academy=: “Mr. Lawson’s work should be well known to our readers; for
we have urged them often enough to make acquaintance with it. He has the
gift of movement, and he rarely offers a loose rhyme. Technically, short
of anxious lapidary work, these verses are excellent. He varies
sentiment and humour very agreeably.”
=New York Evening Journal=: “Such pride as a man feels when he has true
greatness as his guest, this newspaper feels in introducing to a million
readers a man of ability hitherto unknown to them. Henry Lawson is his
name.”
=The Book Lover=: “Any book of Lawson’s should be bought and treasured
by all who care for the real beginnings of Australian literature. As a
matter of fact, he is the one Australian literary product, in any
distinctive sense.”
* * * * *
ON THE TRACK AND OVER THE SLIPRAILS.
STORIES BY HENRY LAWSON, Author of “While the Billy Boils,” “Joe
Wilson and his Mates,” “When the World Was Wide and Other Verses,”
and “Verses, Popular and Humorous.”
Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d. (_post free 4s._).
_For Cheaper Edition see Commonwealth Series, page 2._
=Daily Chronicle=: “Will well sustain the reputation its author has
already won as the best writer of Australian short stories and sketches
the literary world knows. Henry Lawson has the art, possessed in such
eminent degree by Mr. J. M. Barrie, of sketching in a character and
suggesting a whole life-story in a single sentence.”
=Pall Mall Gazette=: “The volume now received will do much to enhance
the author’s reputation. There is all the quiet irresistible humour of
Dickens in the description of ‘The Darling River,’ and the creator of
‘Truthful James’ never did anything better in the way of character
sketches than Steelman and Mitchell. Mr. Lawson has a master’s sense of
what is dramatic, and he can bring out strong effects in a few touches.
Humour and pathos, comedy and tragedy, are equally at his command.”
=Glasgow Herald=: “Mr. Lawson must now be regarded as _facile princeps_
in the production of the short tale. Some of these brief and even slight
sketches are veritable gems that would be spoiled by an added word, and
without a word that can be looked upon as superfluous.”
=Melbourne Punch=: “Often the little stories are wedges cut clean out of
life, and presented with artistic truth and vivid colour.”
* * * * *
WHILE THE BILLY BOILS.
STORIES BY HENRY LAWSON, Author of “When the World Was Wide and
Other Verses,” “Joe Wilson and his Mates,” “On the Track and Over
the Sliprails,” and “Verses, Popular and Humorous.”
Twenty-third Thousand. With eight plates and vignette title by F.
P. Mahony. Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d. (_post free 4s._).
_For Cheaper Edition see Commonwealth Series, page 2._
=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.”
=Literature=: “A book which Mrs. Campbell Praed assured me made her feel
that all she had written of bush life was pale and ineffective.”
=The Spectator=: “It is strange that one we would venture to call the
greatest Australian writer should be practically unknown in England. Mr.
Lawson is a less experienced writer than Mr. Kipling, and more unequal,
but there are two or three sketches in this volume which for vigour and
truth can hold their own with even so great a rival.”
=The Times=: “A collection of short and vigorous studies and stories of
Australian life and character. A little in Bret Harte’s manner, crossed,
perhaps, with that of Guy de Maupassant.”
=The Scotsman=: “There is no lack of dramatic imagination in the
construction of the tales; and the best of them contrive to construct a
strong sensational situation in a couple of pages.”
* * * * *
WHEN THE WORLD WAS WIDE AND OTHER VERSES.
BY HENRY LAWSON, Author of “While the Billy Boils,” “Joe Wilson and
his Mates,” “On the Track and Over the Sliprails,” and “Verses,
Popular and Humorous.”
Tenth Thousand. With photogravure portrait and vignette title.
Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, gilt top, 5s. (_post free 5s. 5d._).
_Presentation edition, French Morocco, gilt edges, 9s._
=The Academy=: “These ballads (for such they mostly are) abound in
spirit and manhood, in the colour and smell of Australian soil. They
deserve the popularity which they have won in Australia, and which, we
trust, this edition will now give them in England.”
=MR. R. LE GALLIENNE, in The Idler=: “A striking volume of ballad
poetry. A volume to console one for the tantalising postponement of Mr.
Kipling’s promised volume of sea ballads.”
=Newcastle Weekly Chronicle=: “Swinging, rhythmic verse.”
=Sydney Morning Herald=: “The verses have natural vigour, the writer has
a rough, true faculty of characterisation, and the book is racy of the
soil from cover to cover.”
=Bulletin=: “How graphic he is, how natural, how true, how strong.”
=Otago Witness=: “It were well to have such books upon our shelves....
They are true history.”
* * * * *
THE MAN FROM SNOWY RIVER AND OTHER VERSES.
BY A. B. PATERSON.
Twenty-Fourth Thousand. With photogravure portrait and vignette
title. Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, gilt top, 5s. (_post free 5s. 5d._).
_Presentation edition, French Morocco, gilt edges, 9s._
=The Literary Year Book=: “The immediate success of this book of bush
ballads is without parallel in Colonial literary annals, nor can any
living English or American poet boast so wide a public, always excepting
Mr. Rudyard Kipling.”
=The Times=: “At his best he compares not unfavourably with the author
of ‘Barrack Room Ballads.’”
=Spectator=: “These lines have the true lyrical cry in them. Eloquent
and ardent verses.”
=Athenæum=: “Swinging, rattling ballads of ready humour, ready pathos,
and crowding adventure.... Stirring and entertaining ballads about great
rides, in which the lines gallop like the very hoofs of the horses.”
Mr. A. PATCHETT MARTIN, in =Literature= (London): “In my opinion it is
the absolutely un-English, thoroughly Australian style and character of
these new bush bards which has given them such immediate popularity,
such wide vogue, among all classes of the rising native generation.”
_London: Macmillan & Co., Limited._
* * * * *
THE POETICAL WORKS OF BRUNTON STEPHENS.
New edition, with photogravure portrait. Crown 8vo, cloth gilt,
gilt top, 5s.
=Sydney Morning Herald (N.S.W.)=: “‘The Poetical Works of Brunton
Stephens,’ as now published by Messrs. Angus and Robertson, is a book
which every Australian should have on his bookshelves, whether these
bookshelves cover walls or are merely the small collection which the man
of taste, however shrunken his purse, is bound to make. Brunton Stephens
deserves his place in even the smallest of collections. The chief of
Australian poets he has contributed to English literature work of
distinguished merit. He is many-sided, embracing all sorts and
conditions of men and things.”
=The Melbourne Argus=: “Mr. Brunton Stephens has for some years enjoyed
an established reputation as one of the best among the small and select
cluster of Australian poets.... Mr. Stephens is specially favoured, in
that he not only has at command a vein of true pathos, but he has
moments of real humour. In more than one poem, too, he has made good his
right to be regarded as the poet of brotherhood and the prophet of
federation.”
=The Melbourne Age=: “It is certainly one of the happiest of his
efforts, and exhibits alike his copious vocabulary and his mastery of a
most attractive form of metre.... A poet both in thought and feeling.”
=Newcastle (N.S.W.) Morning Herald=: “Of the rapidly lengthening roll of
Australian writers, none deserves a higher place than Brunton Stephens.
For more than a generation he has charmed his countrymen with his
exquisite verse.”

it, the miner in love, and the miner in peril. Mr. Dyson knows it all.”

bright narrative.”

Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 2s. 6d.

responsibility of choosing the reading books of the young ... its
gaiety, impulsiveness, and youthfulness will charm them.”
=Sydney Daily Telegraph=: “Nothing could be more natural, more
sympathetic.”
=The Australasian=: “‘Teens’ is a pleasantly-written story, very
suitable for a present or a school prize.”
=Bulletin=: “It is written so well that it could not be written better.”
* * * * *

Third Thousand. Illustrated by G. W. Lambert. Crown 8vo, cloth
gilt, 2s. 6d.

every girl who likes a pleasant story of real life.... Older people will
read it for its bright touches of human nature.”
=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.”
* * * * *
THE ANNOTATED CONSTITUTION OF THE AUSTRALIAN COMMONWEALTH.
By Sir JOHN QUICK AND R. R. GARRAN, C.M.G.
Royal 8vo, cloth gilt, 21s.
=The Times=: “The Annotated Constitution of the Australian Commonwealth
is a monument of industry.... Dr. Quick and Mr. Garran have collected,
with patience and enthusiasm, every sort of information, legal and
historical, which can throw light on the new measure. The book has
evidently been a labour of love.”

Press Notices of Volume I.
=Year Book of Australia=: “There is ‘romance’ enough about it to make it
of permanent interest as a peculiar and most remarkable stage in our
social history.”
=Queenslander=: “Mr. White has supplied material enough for twenty such
novels as ‘Robbery Under Arms.’”
* * * * *
THE GROWTH OF THE EMPIRE.
A Handbook to the History of Greater Britain.
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 fashion 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.”
=Saturday 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.”
=Yorkshire 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 illustrate 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 illustrations. 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 illustrations. 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
documents, which give the reader confidence in the accuracy of the
details. The low price of the book leaves young Australians 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,

Second Edition. With a Glossary of Scientific terms, a Reference
List of commonly-occurring Fossils, 2 coloured maps, and 83
illustrations. 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
illustrated with maps, photographic pictures of rock structure and
scenery, and figures of fossils and rock sections.”
=Saturday 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.”

BY J. M. TAYLOR, M.A., LL.B.
With Introductory Notes on the nature of Decimals, and contracted
methods for the Multiplication and Division of Decimals. Crown 8vo,
6d. (_post free 7d._).
=N.S.W. Educational Gazette=: “A masterly and elaborate treatise for the
use of schools on a subject of world-wide interest and importance.... In
commercial life a knowledge of the metric system has been for some years
essential, and it is, therefore, fitting that its underlying principles
should be taught in our schools concurrently with reduction, and
practised systematically in the more advanced grades. For this purpose
the book is unquestionably the best we have seen.”

I., separately, cloth, 1s. 6d. (_post free 1s. 9d._).
=N.S.W. Educational Gazette=: “The most complete and logical discussion
of this part of the works of the great geometer that we have seen. An
unusual amount of care has been bestowed on the initiatory stages, the
definitions, axioms, and postulates being treated with commendable
fulness.... The brevity, simplicity, and perspicuity of his methods will
appeal forcibly to students.... Mr. Maclardy adheres to the plan of
simplifying the proofs and reducing the verbiage to a minimum, and has
added a contribution to mathematical literature which we regard as
indispensable.”
=Victorian Educational Gazette=: “Among the legion of editions of
Euclid, Mr. Maclardy’s takes an honourable place. There are many
features that are the result of the author’s long experience as a
lecturer and examiner in mathematics. He has evidently taken a pride in
making his work as perfect as possible.”

First and Second Class Teachers’ Certificate Examinations. New
edition, revised and enlarged. Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d.

=Sydney Morning Herald=: “To its concise and admirable arrangement of
rules and definitions, which holds good wherever the English language is
spoken or written, is added special treatment of special difficulties.
Mr. Conway adopts the excellent plan of taking certain papers, and of
answering the questions in detail.... Should be in the hands of every
teacher.”
=Victorian Educational News=: “A book which we can heartily recommend as
the most suitable we have yet met with to place in the hands of students
for our intermediate examinations, and also for matriculation, pupil
teachers’ and certificate of competency examinations. We should be glad
to see the work set down in the syllabus of the Department so that it
would reach the hands of all the students and teachers engaged in
studying the subject in our State schools.”

=Sydney Morning Herald=: “Something more than a school book; it is an
approach to an ideal geography.”
=Review of Reviews=: “It makes a very attractive handbook. Its geography
is up to date; it is not overburdened with details, and it is richly
illustrated with geological diagrams and photographs of scenery
reproduced with happy skill.”

grammatical method of learning a language.”

=N.S.W. Educational Gazette=: “We would earnestly urge upon teachers and

the principles so clearly enunciated in these valuable textbooks. The
work has been excellently done by Mr. G. T. Cotterill, of the Paddington

answered, difficulties have been explained with the skill of an
experienced teacher, and the questions on harmony in the first and
second class papers have been discussed with a fulness and lucidity that
we look for in vain in the ordinary manuals.”
