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."
