THE NOVELS OF ROLF BOLDREWOOD.
Crown 8 vo. 6s. each.

IN BAD COMPANY, and other Stories.

Babes in the Bush.

OUTLOOK.—"A lively and picturesque story."

DAILY TELEGRAPH.—"Bristles with thrilling incident."

War to the Knife; or, Tangata Maori.

ACADEMY.—"A stirring romance."

A ROMANCE OF CANVAS TOWN, and other Stories.

ATHENÆUM.—"The book is interesting for its obvious insight into life in the Australian bush."

Crown 8vo. 3s. 6d. each.

Robbery Under Arms.

A STORY OF LIFE AND ADVENTURE IN THE BUSH AND IN THE GOLD-FIELDS OF AUSTRALIA.

GUARDIAN.—"A singularly spirited and stirring tale of Australian life, chiefly in the remoter settlements."

A Modern Buccaneer.

DAILY CHRONICLE.—"We do not forget Robbery under Arms, or any of its various successors, when we say that Rolf Boldrewood has never done anything so good as A Modern Buccaneer. It is good, too, in a manner which is for the author a new one."

The Miner's Right.

A TALE OF THE AUSTRALIAN GOLD-FIELDS.

WORLD.—"Full of good passages, passages abounding in vivacity, in the colour and play of life. . . . The pith of the book lies in its singularly fresh and vivid pictures of the humours of the gold-fields tragic humours enough they are, too, here and again."

The Squatter's Dream.

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."

A Colonial Reformer.

ATHENÆUM.—"A series of natural and entertaining pictures of Australian life, which are, above all things, readable."

Nevermore.

OBSERVER.—"An exciting story of Ballarat in the fifties. Its hero, Lance Trevanion, is a character which for force of delineation has no equal in Rolf Boldrewood's previous novels."

Plain Living. A Bush Idyll.

ACADEMY.—"A hearty story, deriving charm from the odours of the bush and the bleating of incalculable sheep."

My Run Home.

ATHENÆUM.—"Rolf Boldrewood's last story is a racy volume. It has many of the best qualities of Whyte-Melville, the breezy freshness and vigour of Frank Smedley, with the dash and something of the abandon of Lever. . . . His last volume is one of his best."

The Sealskin Cloak.

TIMES.—"A well-written story."

The Crooked Stick; or, Pollie's Probation.

ACADEMY.—"A charming picture of Australian station life."

Old Melbourne Memories.

NATIONAL OBSERVER.—"His book deserves to be read in England with as much appreciation as it has already gained in the country of its birth."

Fcap. 8vo. 2s.

The Sphinx of Eaglehawk.

A TALE OF OLD BENDIGO.[Macmillan's Pocket Novels.

QUEEN.—"There is the usual mystery, the usual admirable gold-fields' local colour, which we expect from our favourite Rolf Boldrewood."
