the situations which arise out of their operation, while his fund of incident seems to be large enough to meet all the demands made upon it. Indeed, the book is lively and readable from first to last." THE SQUATTER'S DREAM. Saturday Review--"It is not often that stories of colonial life are so interesting as Mr. Boldrewood's 'Squatter's Dream'. There is enough story in the book to give connected interest to the various incidents, and these are all told with considerable spirit and at times picturesqueness." 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." Anti-Jacobin--"Thoroughly well worth reading.... A clever book, admirably written.... Brisk in incident, truthful and lifelike in character.... Beyond and above all it has that stimulating hygienic quality, that cheerful, unconscious healthfulness, which makes a story like 'Robinson Crusoe', or 'The Vicar of Wakefield', so unspeakably refreshing after a course of even good contemporary fiction." A COLONIAL REFORMER. Athenaeum--"A series of natural and entertaining pictures of Australian life, which are, above all things, readable." Glasgow Herald--"One of the most interesting books about Australia we have ever read." Saturday Review--"Mr. Boldrewood can tell what he knows with great point and vigour, and there is no better reading than the adventurous parts of his books."
