"'The Track of Midnight' is a very exciting story, for it is full of hair-breadth 'scapes and never for a moment halts. It holds the attention from first to last, being a tale of love as well as of adventure."—The Globe.
"The secret of 'Midnight's' identity is capitally kept, and comes as a surprise to the reader."—Daily Graphic.
"Readers in quest of an exciting and cleverly-constructed story should make a note of Mr. Scott's tale of Australian adventure."—Bookseller.
"The story is well put together, and is faithful in every detail to the traditions which have come down to the present period, and which are sanctioned by the narratives of eye-witnesses. The interest excited in the mind of the reader in the development of the story is entrancing, while with a masterly skill he reserves his greatest surprise for the last page of the book. Scenes of adventure, blood-curdling affrays, and all the 'moving incidents of flood and field,' fill the pages with peculiar interest, and carry the reader to the end with a sigh that the end is come.... As a story of the early colonial days it is bound to almost surfeit the mind of the most exacting lover of adventure." —Queensland Mercantile Gazette.
The Romance of Australian Exploring.
By G. FIRTH SCOTT.
With Maps and Illustrations. Crown 8vo, cloth, 6s.
"Here we have described, in a very readable manner, some of the heroic deeds by which the mysteries of the 'silent sombre land' were solved, and the boundless wealth of the island-continent made available to the world.... Mr. Scott, in a preface, says that his object has been to present the records of the most important expeditions 'with the least amount of dry detail and the largest possible amount of interest and romance.' He has done well."—Adelaide Observer.
"'The Romance of Australian Exploring' can be thoroughly recommended. It is neither too long nor too hasty. It represents the best of each journey in the most attractive form. Mr. Scott is to be heartily congratulated on his work."—The Queenslander.
