GUARDIAN.—"A singularly spirited and stirring tale of Australian life, chiefly in the remoter settlements."
A MODERN BUCCANEER.
DAILY CHRONICLE.—"We do not forget Robbery under Arms, or any of its various successors, when we say that Rolf Boldrewood has never done anything so good as A Modern Buccaneer. It is good, too, in a manner which is for the author a new one."
THE MINER'S RIGHT.
A TALE OF THE AUSTRALIAN GOLD-FIELDS.
WORLD.—"Full of good passages, passages abounding in vivacity, in the colour and play of life.... The pith of the book lies in its singularly fresh and vivid pictures of the humours of the goldfields—tragic humours enough they are, too, here and again."
THE SQUATTER'S DREAM.
FIELD.—"The details are filled in by a hand evidently well conversant with his subject, and everything is ben trovato, if not actually true. A perusal of these cheerfully-written pages will probably give a better idea of realities of Australian life than could be obtained from many more pretentious works."
A SYDNEY-SIDE SAXON.
GLASGOW HERALD.—"The interest never flags, and altogether A Sydney-Side Saxon is a really refreshing book."
