HEARTS OF GOLD, AND OTHER VERSES.

By Will H. Ogilvie. Fourth thousand. Cloth gilt, gilt top, 3s. 6d.; full morocco, gilt edges, 6s. (postage 2d.}

Daily Telegraph: "Will be welcomed by all who love the stirring music and strong masculine feeling of this poet's verse."


WHILE THE BILLY BOILS.

By Henry Lawson. With eight illustrations by F. P. Mahony. Thirty-second thousand. Cloth gilt, gilt top, 3s. 6d.; full morocco, gilt edges, 6s. (postage 2d.)

The Academy: " A book of honest, direct, sympathetic, humorous writing about Australia from within is worth a library of travellers' tales… The result is a real book—a book in a hundred. His language is terse, supple, and richly idiomatic. He can tell a yarn with the best."


CHILDREN OF THE BUSH.

By Henry Lawson. Eleventh thousand. Cloth gilt, gilt top, 3s. 6d.; full morocco, gilt edges, 6s. (postage 2d.)

The Bulletin: " These stories are the real Australia, written by the foremost living Australian author… Lawson's genius remains as vivid and human as when he first boiled his literary billy."


JOE WILSON AND HIS MATES.

By Henry Lawson. Eleventh thousand. Cloth gilt, gilt top, 3s. 6d.; full morocco, gilt edges, 6s. (postage 2d.)

The Athenaeum: "This is a long way the best work Mr. Lawson has yet given us. These stories are so good that (from the literary point of view of course) one hopes they are not autobiographical. As autobiography they would be good, as pure fiction they are more of an attainment."

London: Wm. Blackwood & Sons.
