Buley, E. C. Australian life in town and country. **$1.20. Putnam.
“Australia is no longer a colony, but a nation. This is the keynote of Mr. Buley’s book on Australia.... It is a vivid picture that Mr. Buley presents of newly made cities humming with industry and business and filled with comfortable homes; great cattle and horse ranches, where every proprietor is a little lord of the manor; sheep farms in the back blocks fifty miles from a neighbor; gold fields where fortunes are made in a day and lost the same night; and wide, dreary stretches of the Never-Never land still awaiting irrigation and the consequent inrush of settlers.”—Pub. Opin.
“The book deals most entertainingly with Australian life, and is well illustrated.”
