SPEECHES DELIVERED IN INDIA,

1884–8.

INCLUDING THAT AT "THE ST. ANDREW'S DINNER."

By the MARQUIS OF DUFFERIN AND AVA.

8vo. 9s.

"We earnestly commend the perusal of these speeches to the English reader. They are the best possible antidote for the rashness, ignorance, and folly which are the too common characteristics of amateur criticism of Indian politics. They are, moreover, agreeable reading; for Lord Dufferin, serious and well considered as are his observations, is never dull, and, whenever occasion permits, breaks away into a light-heartedness that reminds us that he is a true Irishman, and that the Sheridan blood flows in his veins. His touch is light; his spirits are gay; his fancy plays at ease. Whenever, for a moment, the senatorial purple is thrown aside, we perceive the courteous, kindly gentleman, sincerely pleased with the world in which he has played so distinguished a part, and the men and women whom his genial disposition and charming manners have bound to himself in the firm allegiance of personal affection. He is proud of his country, of his class, of his past good fortune, and--as he takes every opportunity of announcing--of his wife."--Saturday Review.

"In this charming collection there are not many speeches which compare in importance and oratorical elevation with the brilliant orations and despatches of Lord Dufferin's Canadian administration; but we have a volume abounding in light on Indian history and rich in hereditary refinement of diction and vivacity of perception.... The actual condition of the Indian Empire at the time Lord Dufferin became Viceroy, and the healing influence his personality exercised upon the inflammation produced by many attempts to exploit India for party purposes, constitute some of Lord Dufferin's strongest claims to recognition among the great men who have made the English name renowned in the Indian world."--Observer.

OUR VICEREGAL LIFE IN INDIA.

BEING A SELECTION FROM MY JOURNAL DURING THE YEARS 1884–8.

By THE MARCHIONESS OF DUFFERIN AND AVA.

Fourth Thousand. With Portrait & Map. 2 Vols. Crown 8vo. 24s.

"All who understand and sympathise with Indian life will hasten to read these two pleasant volumes. The journal is a running commentary on the multitudinous events which must crowd into such years as she passed in India, and is none the less pleasant for its simplicity and unpretentiousness. Perhaps the visit which Lady Dufferin paid to Burmah three years ago will attract as much attention as any other part of her travels."--Daily Telegraph.

A SOUTHERN PLANTER.

By SUSAN DABNEY SMEDES.

Crown 8vo. 7s. 6d.

"The book is eminently worthy of the great attention it has received. It puts the case of the Southern planters in a very rational and most interesting light. It may be described as the very antipodes to 'Uncle Tom's Cabin.' The picture of the rich, affluent patriarchal life, with woodlands, pastures and countless flocks, the master exercising paternal care over the slaves, and the planter's wife, working harder for her slaves than any slave could work, is extremely interesting and attractive. Then we have some striking pictures of the war between Federals and Confederates, and of the tremendous results. But the main charm of the book is the character of Thomas Dabney himself, who might, as a reality, be compared with some famous characters in fiction, with the Doctor Primrose of Goldsmith, or the Père Madelon of Victor Hugo.... Mr. Gladstone has done well in drawing attention to his character and his story."--Literary Churchman.

FOUR YEARS' TRAVELS IN AUSTRALIA.

AND CAMP LIFE WITH THE ABORIGINES OF QUEENSLAND.

By CARL LUMHOLTZ, M.A.,
Member of the Royal Society of Science of Norway.

With Maps, Coloured Plates and 120 Illustrations. Medium 8vo. 24s.

"Mr. Lumholtz has a very pleasant and modest style of narrative, so that the whole book is as agreeable as it is instructive; but the portion most attractive from its novelty is that which details his proceeding when, for nearly a year, he lived alone among 'a race of people whose culture--if, indeed, they can be said to have any culture whatever--must be characterised as the lowest to be found among the whole genus homo sapiens.' The volume is one of the most complete of its kind in all respects, and a worthy record of the steadfast enterprise of a hardy Norseman in the Scientific Age. It should be specially remarked that he effaces himself more than most travellers; yet we can infer from the style and fine temper of his narrative that he belongs to the higher class of scientific explorers."--Spectator.

DRAMATIC OPINIONS.

By MRS. KENDAL.

Post 8vo. 1s.

A NATURALIST'S VOYAGE ROUND THE WORLD.

By CHARLES DARWIN, F.R.S.,

WITH MAPS AND UPWARDS OF 100 ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE PLACES VISITED AND DESCRIBED.

Chiefly from Sketches taken on the Spot by ROBERT TAYLOR PRITCHETT.
Medium 8vo. 21s.

*.* The object of this edition is to aid the author's description by actual representations of the most interesting places and objects of Natural History referred to in them. This has been effected by securing the service of an artist who has visited the countries which Darwin describes.

"This is an edition de luxe of the first work written by our great naturalist. Anybody who has read it is not likely to have forgotten it. It is a kind of natural history 'Robinson Crusoe.' It was during that famous voyage that Darwin made the observations and laid the foundation for his famous theory of Natural Selection. The present edition is by far the best and most attractive hitherto published. The illustrations are artistic in the highest degree, as everybody will understand when he knows they are by the artist of Lady Brassey's 'Sunbeam.' Most
