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.”
