THE SONGS OF A SENTIMENTAL BLOKE.
By C.J. Dennis. Tenth thousand. With 14 full-page Drawings by Hal Gye and Foreword by Henry Lawson. Cloth, 3s. 6d.
THE BULLETIN (Sydney): "'The Songs of a Sentimental Bloke' is the most typically Australian book published for a decade. Its humour, its sentiment, its genuine humanity, are expressed with feeling and an assured poetic craftsmanship. C.J. Dennis is not only an Australian poet: he is a poet."
SYDNEY MORNING HERALD: "Bill is a wholly delightful person, and from what he tells us of Doreen, she must be equally delightful ... Mr. Hal Gye's illustrations deserve mention; their idea is distinctly original, and the scheme is carried out cleverly."
DAILY TELEGRAPH (Sydney): "Captivatingly fresh and original ... The verse is very human and clean, and its appeal is universal, for it depicts the simple emotions that are not confined to the class that uses dialect ... Sure to be popular, because it has the qualities of humour and lifelikeness. Also the feeling in it rings true."
THE ARGUS (Melbourne): "The genuine humour of these larrikin love poems is all the more effective because beneath the surface fun there is a suggestion of deeper feelings that ennoble men and unite them in the bonds of common fellow ship."
THE AGE (Melbourne): "'The Sentimental Bloke' is a striking conception and his portrayal masterly."
THE HERALD (Melbourne): "The Bloke is a character who is likely long to remain deservedly popular in this country's literature. 'The sonnet shining in the eyes' has been fixed by Mr. Dennis in what is certainly a classic of its class, and he secures an effect of true poetry without straining a simile or defying the canons of Australia's colloquial speech."
QUEENSLANDER: "A well-printed, cleverly-illustrated, and pleasant to handle little volume. The humour of the 'Sentimental Bloke' has an exquisite quality, its sentiment a tenderness, and its philosophy a soundness which compel attention ... genuine poetry ... a sensitive appreciation of the beautiful ... wholesome philosophy.. admirable verses."

THE GOLDEN TREASURY OF AUSTRALIAN VERSE.

THE TIMES: "This collection of the works of the Queensland poet, who has for a generation deservedly held a high place in Australian literature, well deserves study."

J. BRUNTON STEPHENS, in THE BULLETIN: "Boake's work is often praised for its local colour; but it has something better than that. It has atmosphere—Australian atmosphere, that makes you feel the air of the place—breathe the breath of the life."
AT DAWN AND DUSK: Poems.
By VICTOR J. DALEY. Fourth edition. With photogravure portrait. Cloth gilt, gilt top, 3s. 6d.; full morocco, gilt edges, 6s. (postage 2d.)
BOOKMAN: "These verses are full of poetic fancy musically expressed."
SYDNEY MORNING HERALD: "The indefinable charm is here, and the spell, and the music.... A distinct advance for Australian verse in ideality, in grace and polish, in the study of the rarer forms of verse, and in the true faculty of poetic feeling and expression."
WINE AND ROSES: A New Volume of Poems.
By VICTOR J. DALEY. With portrait. Cloth gilt, gilt top, 3s. 6d.; full morocco, gilt edges, 6s. (postage 2d.)
DAILY TELEGRAPH: "Most of his verse is tinged with sadness—as in most Irish poetry—but there is a fine imaginative quality that lifts it to a far higher plane than that of the conventional melancholy rhymer. There are poems in this book that recall the magic of Rossetti.... Victor Daley has left his mark in the beginnings of an Australian literature."

London: Macmillan & Co., Limited.
THE SECRET KEY, AND OTHER VERSES.
By George Essex Evans. Second edition, with portrait. Cloth gilt, gilt top, 3s. 6d.; full morocco, gilt edges, 6s. (postage 2d.)
GLASGOW HERALD: "There is ... the breath of that apparently immortal spirit which has inspired ... almost all that is best in English higher song."
THE BOOKMAN: "Mr. Evans has written many charming and musical poems ... many pretty and haunting lines."
IN THE DAYS WHEN THE WORLD WAS WIDE, AND OTHER VERSES.
By Henry Lawson. Twentieth thousand. With photogravure portrait. Cloth gilt, gilt top, 3s. 6d.; full morocco, gilt edges, 6s. (postage 2d.)
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."
VERSES, POPULAR AND HUMOROUS.
By HENRY LAWSON. Eighteenth thousand. Cloth gilt, gilt top, 3s. 6d.; full morocco, gilt edges, 6s. (postage 2d.)
NEW YORK 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."
WHEN I WAS KING, AND OTHER VERSES.
By HENRY LAWSON. Tenth thousand. Cloth gilt, gilt top, 3s. 6d.; full morocco, gilt edges, 6s. (postage 2d.)
THE SPECTATOR: "A good deal of humour, a great deal of spirit, and a robust philosophy are the main characteristics of these Australian poets. Because they write of a world they know, and of feelings they have themselves shared in, they are far nearer the heart of poetry than the most accomplished devotees of a literary tradition."
ON THE TRACK AND OVER THE SLIPRAILS.
By HENRY LAWSON. Twentieth thousand. Cloth gilt, gilt top, 3s. 6d.; full morocco, gilt edges, 6s. (postage 2d.)
DAILY CHRONICLE: "Will well sustain the reputation its author has already won as the best writer of Australian short stories and sketches."
FAIR GIRLS AND GRAY HORSES, WITH OTHER VERSES.
By WILL H. OGILVIE. Revised edition, completing twentieth thousand. With portrait. Cloth gilt, gilt top, 3s. 6d.; full morocco, gilt edges, 6s. (postage 2d.)
SCOTSMAN: "Its verses draw their natural inspiration from the camp, the cattle trail, and the bush; and their most characteristic and compelling rhythms from the clatter of horses' hoofs."
HEARTS OF GOLD, AND OTHER VERSES.
By WILL H. OGILVIE. Fourth thousand. Cloth gilt, gilt top, 3s. 6d.; full morocco, gilt edges, 6s. (postage 2d.)
DAILY TELEGRAPH: "Will be welcomed by all who love the stirring music and strong masculine feeling of this poet's verse."
WHILE THE BILLY BOILS.
By HENRY LAWSON. With eight illustrations by F.P. Mahony. Thirty-second thousand. Cloth gilt, gilt top, 3s. 6d.; full morocco, gilt edges, 6s. (postage 2d.)
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."
CHILDREN OF THE BUSH.
By HENRY LAWSON. Eleventh thousand. Cloth gilt, gilt top, 3s. 6d.; full morocco, gilt edges, 6s. (postage 2d.)
THE BULLETIN: "These stories are the real Australia, written by the foremost living Australian author ... Lawson's genius remains as vivid and human as when he first boiled his literary billy."
JOE WILSON AND HIS MATES.
By HENRY LAWSON. Eleventh thousand. Cloth gilt, gilt top, 3s. 6d.; full morocco, gilt edges, 6s. (postage 2d.)
THE ATHENAEUM: "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."
London: Wm. Blackwood & Sons.
LAURENCE HOPE'S LOVE LYRICS.
Uniformly bound in fancy boards with cloth back. 6s. (postage 3d.) per volume.
THE GARDEN OF KAMA.
DAILY CHRONICLE: "No one has so truly interpreted the Indian mind—no one, transcribing Indian thought into our literature, has retained so high and serious a level, and quite apart from the rarity of themes and setting—the verses remain—true poems."
STARS OF THE DESERT.
OUTLOOK: "It is not merely that these verses describe Oriental scenes and describe them with vividness, there is a feeling in the rhythm—a timbre of the words that seems akin to the sand and palm-trees and the changeless East."
INDIAN LOVE.
SPECTATOR: "The poetry of Laurence Hope must hold a unique place in modern letters. No woman has written lines so full of a strange primeval savagery—a haunting music—the living force of poetry."
London: William Heinemann.
THE WITCH MAID, AND OTHER VERSES.
By DOROTHEA MACKELLAR. Cloth gilt, gilt top, 3s. 6d. (postage 2d.)
SYDNEY MORNING HERALD: "She possesses to a remarkable degree the faculty of conjuring up before our eyes an extraordinarily vivid picture in a single line or even a word or two. Miss Mackellar can grasp the essential spirit of a scene, and what is rarer still, can find words to make us, too, see it, where before we have been blind."
London: J.M. Dent & Co. Ltd.
TO-MORROW: A Dramatic Sketch of the Character and Environment of Robert Greene.
By J. LE GAY BRERETON. Paper cover, 1s. 6d. (postage 1d.)

By CHARLES H. BERTIE. With 53 pen and pencil drawings by SYDNEY URE SMITH. Cloth cover, printed in colours, 3s. 6d. (postage 1d.)
SYDNEY MORNING HERALD: "A charming and interesting little book ... they live and breathe, and he has contrived to make actual to us those remote and almost incredible days.... Mr. Smith's admirable illustrations are an equally important feature of the book, which, in addition to its interest, presents a great antiquarian value."
THE RISING OF THE COURT, AND OTHER SKETCHES IN PROSE AND VERSE.
By HENRY LAWSON. With picture cover (Commonwealth Series), 1s. (postage 1d.)
QUEENSLAND TIMES: "These stories show Lawson at his best, and Lawson at his best is not to be beaten by short story writers in current literature."
AN OUTBACK MARRIAGE: A Story of Australian Life.
By A.B. PATERSON. Ninth thousand, with picture cover (Commonwealth Series), 1s. (postage 1d.)
SCOTSMAN: "The chief virtue of the book lies in its fresh and vivid presentment of the wild life and the picturesque manners of the Australian bush, while in form and style it claims recognition as a work of considerable literary distinction."
THE OLD BUSH SONGS.
Collected and edited by A.B. PATERSON. Thirteenth thousand, with picture cover (Commonwealth Series), 1s. (postage 1d.)
DAILY TELEGRAPH: "Rude and rugged these old bush songs are, but they carry in their vigorous lines the very impress of their origin and of their genuineness.... Mr. Paterson has done his work like an artist."
GODS AND WOOD THINGS.
By L.H. ALLEN. Paper boards, 1s. (postage 1d.)
SYDNEY MORNING HERALD: "Mr. Allen is one of the select band who are saturated with classic lore and who seek to translate the beings of pagan mythology to the Australian bush. 'Gods and Wood Things' contains both prose and verse—the latter rhapsodical, the former mystical."
BUSHLAND STORIES.
By AMY ELEANOR MACK. Second edition, with coloured illustrations and decorated cloth cover, 3s. 6d. (postage 2d.)
ACADEMY: "It is not often that we have the pleasure to welcome from Australia a book of so many charming short stories as are contained in the volume before us."
SCOTSMAN: "Charming and simple nursery tales, appetisingly touched with local colour of the Bush."
BIRMINGHAM DAILY POST: "There is a daintiness and distinct charm in these fairy tales."
SCRIBBLING SUE, AND OTHER STORIES.
By AMY ELEANOR MACK. With coloured and other illustrations and decorated cloth cover, 3s. 6d. (postage 2d.)
These stories are written in the same happy vein as "Bushland Stories." Miss Mack's intense love of nature is reflected in all her books, and her readers, both young and old, are at once attracted by the natural ring of her work.
GEM OF THE FLAT: A. Story of Young Australians.
By CONSTANCE MACKNESS. With coloured and other illustrations and decorated cloth cover, 3s. 6d. (postage 2d.)
"Gem of the Flat" is a story of Australian bush children. The local colouring is distinctly good; the children are alive, and talk like real children; the incidents are natural and well described. The style is fresh, the dialogue well managed, and the story as a whole is interesting and pleasant, with a good tone about it.
DOT AND THE KANGAROO.
By ETHEL C. PEDLEY. Illustrated by F.P. Mahony. Third edition, with decorated cloth cover, 2s. 6d. (postage 2d.)
SYDNEY MORNING HERALD: "'Dot and the Kangaroo' is without doubt one of the most charming books that could be put into the hands of a child. It is admirably illustrated by Frank P. Mahony, who seems to have entered thoroughly into the animal world of Australia. The story is altogether Australian.... It is told so simply, and yet so artistically, that even the 'grown-ups' amongst us must enjoy it."
THE ANNOTATED CONSTITUTION OF THE AUSTRALIAN COMMONWEALTH.
By Sir JOHN QUICK, LL.D., and R.R. GARRAN, C.M.G. Royal 8vo., cloth gilt, 21s.

By H.E. BARFF, M.A., Registrar. With numerous illustrations. Cloth gilt, 7s. 6d. (postage 2d.)

SOME EARLY RECORDS OF THE MACARTHURS OF CAMDEN, 1789-1834.
Edited by SIBELLA MACARTHUR ONSLOW. With coloured plates and numerous facsimile reproductions of original documents. Cloth gilt, 15s. (postage 6d.)
SYDNEY MORNING HERALD: "No man ever entered on a better fight with his fellow citizens, with the Governors, with the British Government, with the scientists, with the judicial authorities, indeed with almost every authority that was there to be fought, than John Macarthur when he undertook single-handed the great fight which finally established the wool industry in Australia."
Uniform with the above.
LIFE OF CAPTAIN MATTHEW FLINDERS, R.N.
By ERNEST SCOTT, Professor of History in the University of Melbourne, author of "Terre Napoléon" etc. With numerous portraits, maps, manuscripts in facsimile, etc. Cloth gilt, 21s. (postage 6d.)
THE BULLETIN: "Will take its place as one of the great biographies in our language. The inexplicable fact that hitherto no full biography of the first man to circumnavigate Australia has appeared is also a fortunate fact. Flinders has waited a century for his biographer, and it was worth this silence of a hundred years to find Ernest Scott.... And to this fervor of research must be added Ernest Scott's lucid literary style and his interest in the personal side of his subject. Equipment, style, sympathy, and his subject combine to make a brilliant achievement in biography.... A word must in mere justice be added in praise of the publishers. The appearance of the book is worthy of its contents."
LIFE OF LAPEROUSE.
By PROFESSOR ERNEST SCOTT. With Chart of Voyages in the Pacific, and 13 illustrations. Cloth, 3s. 6d. (postage 1d.) For school edition see page 31.
This story of Lapérouse's work as an explorer and his close association with Australia is a most important contribution to our history. The illustrations are from authentic sources and very interesting.

AUSTRALIAN WILD FLOWERS: Second Series.
Photographed by Mrs. A.E. SULMAN. Paper cover, 2s. (postage 1d.)

In addition to this abundant and most necessary illustration in plates, the reader is provided with numbers of text-figures as well as a valuable map-index of localities.... A concluding section, with 'Notes on Collecting and Collections,' complete the work by rendering it a sufficient guide to the beginner.

AN INTRODUCTION TO THE GEOLOGY OF NEW SOUTH WALES.
By C.A. Sussmilch, F.G.S. Second edition, thoroughly revised and greatly enlarged, with folding coloured map and 100 other maps and illustrations. Cloth gilt, 7s. 6d. (postage 3d.)
Australian Mining Standard: "Students are greatly indebted to Mr. Sussmilch for the able manner in which he has presented in compact form all that is known at the present time on the subject.... The illustrations throughout are excellent, but the coloured geological map which serves as a frontispiece is a model of what such a map should be, avoiding the opposite evils of overcrowding and meagreness. Mr. Sussmilch's book should be of value, not only to students in the colleges, but to those practical miners who are also students."

Originally published under the title "Australian Capers," this volume has been out of print for many years, and copies which have come into the market secondhand have been purchased at enhanced prices. The author has at last consented to its republication and has thoroughly revised it. As a picture of Australian life thirty or forty years ago the book is worthy of a permanent place in our literature, and it contains plenty of fun and humour for both old and young.
