congratulated on his work."--_The Queenslander._

"This handy book of exploration in Australia ... picks out the most
noted expeditions of Australian history, and presents them in a form in
which they should find most acceptance from the work-a-day world. The
book, which is well illustrated, is a useful contribution to the general
stock of information concerning the work of colonisation in
Australia."--_Sydney Daily Telegraph._

"Mr. Firth Scott has produced a really romantic and fascinating
volume."--_Literature._

"It is a book to stir the blood; and to awake many thoughts."--_Critic._

education for those who care about the distant Southern Land; it gives

maps indicating the routes taken by the different explorers enhance the
value of a most attractive book."--_Scotsman._

"This is a thoroughly sound and trustworthy account of the Australian
explorers, from Wentworth to Burke and Wills. It should have been styled
the 'reality' rather than the 'romance' of Australian exploring, for Mr.
